Help! I’ve Fallen and I Can’t get Back Up!
I am serious.
I’ve been going through some serious bouts with depression the past several weeks, and I stopped even thinking about losing weight. I’ve been binging like crazy and am currently up to 307 pounds. I don’t want to be like this but I can’t shake this depression and wanting to give up, climb into my shell and say, “to heck with everything and everyone”!
I don’t want to give up but I can’t seem to make my body do what I want it to do. My brain says let’s get moving and my body just laughs! My brain says let’s eat a healthy salad with some chicken breast cubes, and my body heads for a whole pack of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups! (which I am craving like crazy - can’t get enough of ‘em!)
I got ChaLEAN Extreme, and I did Day 1 but I can’t seem to get back……
I feel like I am out of control and I am not sure how I got here. Has anyone ever had this problem????
(P.S. I am under a doctor’s care. Several actually(general, ob/gyn, and neurologist). They are telling me the depression is from the PCOS which has caused alot of hormonal imbalances in my body.
Been to a nutritionist, and have a plan.
Counseling doesn’t work…been there, done that and came out alot worse after counseling! )

hi there
sorry you are having such tough times. First off all I can say is see a doctor. There is no shame in sufferieng with depression. Once you have done that go see a nutritionalist and get a plan. Some counceling will help too with the binge eating.
Get help. sometimes we cannot do this on our own and there is NO SHAME IN THAT
You know, I really know what you mean. I am still at a place where I am having to make myself get up and try and have a good day. It has been especially hard since I quit smoking about 6 weeks ago. But I have just been making myself do it. And believe me it has been very small steps so far. Just try and keep your head up, take stock of the good in your life and try and let that inspire you. Remember, the small steps to getting yourself better matter.
I agree with both of you. First thing is always to get mentally healthy..then tackle your physical.
And yes I have been there. Its hard to get yourself started but even harder to keep going. Its one day at a time.
Yes I have been where you are, and it came down to me deciding to put me first. There is not magic to make it just happen, it takes you deciding you are worth doing this for. Making little changes everyday will add up in the long run. Make better food choices and start moving walk as far as you can and go farther the next day. A good support system is very important and here on BS you will find it.
WOW you are going through so much. I’m not sure how I can help or even offer any words of advice other then a hug.
Hugs are good.
I guess my posting a blog on this is my stepping out and hoping I am not the only one going through this. I think I just wanted someone to listen, and I appreciate ya’ll listening. God bless ya!!! 
if you ahve problems motivating yourself to workout, i have a theory that might work? i tend to have ‘workout clothes’, like a pair of tracksuit bottoms or shorts that i only use for workouts. once i put them on, i get into a zone of putting the turbojam or davina dvd on. its like a routine that i’ve got myself into now. and i also tend to work out at the same time during the day, normally within 2 hours of waking up. hope this helps
