Slim for Summer!
Hello, everyone! Is there a support thread for people losing weight but who also suffer from Depression? I may have missed it..
Losing weight is difficult in itself, but with depression looming over us it can often seem an impossible & daunting task. I suffer from Clinical Depression amongst other things & I'm finding it very difficult to stay positive & lose weight. Exercising doesn't seem worth the bother (no energy at all) & all I keep thinking is "No matter what I do, the scales wont move & I'll be overweight forever..". Most of the time I don't want to eat because I feel like I don't deserve to, other times I can't stop myself & I end up binging horribly. I feel like if I know that other depressed people can do it - then maybe I can too. And you!
Soooo.. I was just wondering - If there isn't a support thread (pleeeease tell me if there is!) - would anyone be interested in contributing in one? We could try to spur eachother on etc! Just a thought..
