DEPRESSION = Comfort eat....2 much eat/fat = DEPRESSION==NASTY CYCLE

This is ALL so nasty and hard to break the cycle yeah???

Have put on 15 kilos in 1.5 yrs and feel DREADFUL!!!!!
This is all due to comfort eating when sad--TOO MUch;;;;;;my consequence is NOW i'm too fat and my pay off for that is====Depression!

Christ its hard to make things right when ya head is so mixed up!

i know that feeling!!
dr weighed me the other day-i have gained 15kgs in about the same time frame as you.
(although im probley considered "healthy" now-was a tiny 45kgs to start with)

to much food-to unmotivated to exercise--and is medication playing a role in it also??

at what point should i stop blaming xmas for my weight gain ??hehe

?

Yes I comfit eat to, it not only the ladies that do it.

When my depression is playing up I crave sugar normally in the form of jelly beans or chcolate (sp?). Sugar acts as an artifical serntion (sp?) which is the happy chemical in our brain.

I have put on a bit of weight too, part of it was my enforced inactivity, part meds and part just not having the energy.

BTW go GOODY GOODY GUM DROP ice cream.

I will eating that tomorrow for comfit or having a jug of beer me thinks

I comfort eat too, but have been doing low carb and its fantastic. Best thing is its yummy food and you stay full cos your eating heaps of protien, fat and fibre. And Im losing weight!
