Unhappy I need help!

I am out of control lately. I feel so depressed and all I want to do is eat. I live in a home where there is constant temptations, candy, breads, etc. Ever since Halloween I have been eating candy, feel totally guilty and then get soooo depressed. I haven't lost at all (that's a no brainer). I was so up and doing so well and now POW! What's going on with me? I get my water in but my diet sucks! Any support from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you and hope your doing better than me. Bonnie

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Bonnie you may need to remove the temptations out of the house. I know it's hard because I got kids and they want all those things but I had to explain to them that once I have my surgery I can't keep those things around anymore. So I have been purchasing all types of fruit and veggies to get them started on eating right too. So maybe you can try that. I hope all works out for you. Don't get too depress because I know we all go through that at one point. Just try and be strong and hang in there. What you have eaten is in the past, just move on, tomorrow is another day.

Put it in your mind that you will eat HEALTHY alternatives...eating more is not a bad thing, as long as the choices are good!

I feel your pain...I feel myself wanting to slip...than I have to snap myself out of it...stay strong...and keep your eye on the prize!!

Everyone hits that spot once in a while.
Just pick yourself up, dust your hands off, give yourself a pat on the back that you know what's not good (did you really know and understand before?) and get back on track.
Keep some protein snacks around you, if you can't throw out the candy bowl, at least mix some protein snacks into that bowl, then you have a choice to make.
Eating protein first and getting your water in first before the candy pieces can stave off the craving, too.

At least, you haven't gained, so that's a good thing.
Chin up, gal, (((((HUGS)))))

Smile Thanks everyone

Thanks to those who responded. It truly does help to get the support from others who have been there. I am trying to change my mind set and not let depression take over. I've dealt with manic depression for many years and know that was a part of my weight gain. I have got to get it together soon. It seems like once you slip it is so very hard to get out of it. The support from this site is amazing.....Thank you all! Love, Bonnie

BONNIE YOU CANT CHANGE WHAT YOU ALREADY DID (like they say you cant cry over spilled milk) SO DONT BEAT YOURSELF BUT YOU CAN CHANGE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO FROM THIS MINUTE ON. KEEP PROTEIN SNACKS AROUND AT LEAST THEY TASTE LIKE COOKIES, CHOCOLATE ETC. OR WALK AWAY. OR TELL DH TO HIDE THE STASH FOR YOU.

YOU WILL BE OK HUN ITS ONLY A TEMPORARY RUFF PATCH

I struggle with depression, am on meds for it but I have always struggled regardless. One thing that really helps, and I know it can be hard, especially when you are down, is going for a walk. I have days where I don't even want to get out of my pajamas, but if I force myself to get dressed, go for a walk, just 20 mins. even, I can notice a difference. You release endorphins and other good chemicals in your brain, just from a little walk! Hope this helps!

Smile Thank you everyone!

Thanks everyone for your responses. It really does help to have this support and I know I am not alone. I need to focus more and not give in to temptation. When I get really depressed it is hard as most of you know. I did go for a walk today and that helped....just like all of you!!
