No, I'm sorry to say that it's not a typo. I went for my weigh in on Fri for the first
time in over 3 week. I knew it would be bad as for the first time in my life I was eating so completely out of control that I was at the point of going to the doctor to see what if there was anything physical wrong. What stopped me was that I got a lovely card from my WW centre saying that they hoped all was well and that they looked forward to seeing me again. Before I got that I had no intention of going back but that one note changed things for me. I went & got the horrible truth about my gain --- but I am now back on program fully & raring to go. It was simply one of the worst cases of depression that I have ever experienced in my life but all it took was that little note to pull me out of it. I was surprised at how caring everyone was at the meeting - they didn't make me feel bad because of the weight I put on but just welcomed me back & made me feel so comfortable. Aside from the health problems with my hubby & the worry there, my feet started to hurt so much & I found it very difficult to walk much. I have had to resort to the bike but can't do much there as I also have bad knees. I was just feeling so sorry for myself that I started to eat myself to death ;-( This has happened before but never as bad as this was. I think that next time I start to let go (and I know it will happen again), I just might try the drug route with the doc & get pill for the depresseion to see if that will keep me away from the non stop eating of sweets.

Depression can be a powerful thing. It might not be a bad idea to discuss
the issue with your doctor now before it hits you again. Fortunately my bouts with depression the timing is predictable (certain holidays and anniversaries) so I am just extra careful about what I do during those times. hang in there.

NYNY update - Joyce
NO!! SO NO!!.. Back in 1981 when I did that weigh in where they guessed me
at 365 because I topped out their scale, I could hardly walk. But after I lost the first 15 pounds or so, I joined the prevention mag walking club. I started out walking a half a block. Worked my way up over the next couple of years to 3 mile walks, and aerobic tapes. They did a story on me in Jan of 92 or so, after I had lost over 100 pounds. They got so much of it wrong after they edited it that it is most of the reason why I don't want to do the WW mag now. But that was what got the exercise bug started. And I began lifting weights in the mid '90's sometime. It has been *"bliss"* for about the past 4 or 5 years, as in I miss it mightily when I don't work out. Even when I was yo yoing around in the 200's weight wise I never quit working out. End result, I am fairly muscular, my skin is loose but tries valiantly to hang onto the muscle so it doesn't look ANYTHING like what I see online in those before and after plastic surgery photo's of people who have lost what I have. I credit the exercise and the water for that. "Joyce" wrote in message news Was that line of exercise thinking with you when you first started ww? I made it through almost to the end before I finally got myself going on a routine - just couldn't get myself going. I still lost the weight, might have been slower but it still came off. Thinking is a bit different now. Many days I don't feel like getting going, but I somehow find a way to talk myself into it (today was one of those days). I always feel good after the fact. I need to get my head turned around... have those good feelings working for me first thing in the morning. g Joyce On Sun, 16 Nov 2003 01:23:09 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: Great weight .

This has happened to me so many times! Just write down somewhere how
accepted you were when you went back. And I highly recommend getting medication for a bit when you realize it. I have used it several times in the past, never for more than a month or two.
