Buckner - I wish I knew something to say to you to help. I'm not good with words but I just want you to know that I think you are a very beautiful young lady and have accomplished so much already. I hope you can see that in yourself and not let the depression get the better of you. Hang in there. (((HUGS)))

Buckner, I've not had to deal with a great deal of depression, but I am very familiar with its evil cousin, anxiety, and yes, I am prone to medicate myself with food. You have accomplished so much with the weight loss, I'd hate to see you have to start all over again. That too would be depressing.

It seems you have an extremely difficult work schedule. I wonder if that isn't contributing to your problem. What type of work do you do? If you are consuming so very few calories and still gaining weight, I think you need to discuss this with your doctor. Have you tried writing down everything you are eating to see if in fact there are more calories than you are aware of?

Give your medication a chance to kick in. Please don't get discouraged. You are one of our heros and you need support, perhaps more than you can get in an on line situation. (((HUGS))) from me too.

More hugs for Buckner...

With your busy work schedule I would recommend eating a bigger meal between jobs around 3 PM and then after you finish the 2nd job at 10 PM try something lighter like a power bar or a salad, something with less carbs etc.
How many days of the week is your schedule like this? If you have a weekend off then I would recommend eating healthy at the regular times then and fitting in more exercise then if you can to help balance out your work days.

wow, buckner, i wish i knew what to say. i'm glad you came here, though, there's a lot of support for you here!


I did good today...I ate a good breakfast, a good lunch, and, I plan to do the same with dinner. I've eaten something small between breakfast and lunch, and, i'm about to eat something else here in the next hour or so. i try to eat six small meals a day, i tend to better that way. and, i worked out! yay! i feel sweaty and a little sore, but, it feels great!

Great job Kari!!

I'm sorry Sara, I dont know what to say either. Like Kari said, I'm glad you came here, we all care about you.

I figured out something for myself today. I keep filling an empty mountain dew can with water! It sounds stupid, I know, but, when ever I go to the fridge for something to drink, and I see my open "mountain dew" I drink that!

I can't wait till the temperature drops later, so I can go exercise. Its 90 degrees, and VERY humid right now

Sara: I am really sorry that you are having such a difficult time. Give the meds a chance. I can hardly believe that your doc would put you on a med for depression that would make you suicidial though. Seems to defeat the purpose . . . that just confuses me. Looks like an "anti-depressant" would do the trick . . . what did they put you on? Anyway, I really wish I could help more . . . I feel helpless. You know how to get in touch with me if you need me. Hang in there hon!

[Almita]

Aww i'm so sorry Sara that you are having a difficult time

Good Job Kari and nice Beth with the mountain dew water haha

today i rode my bicycle for 2 miles then later on the day i went for my 2 mile jog.


I have also been drinking a lot of water latley, but i still have a craving for coke and root beer.
