Default NYNY update - Joyce **Elaine**

Thanks, Lesanne. Since I have never had a bout like this one, I just thought I
could handle it on my own like I did with the other smaller ones. I now realize
that if it happens again, I must get the docs help. I do now I will binge again
from stress, but I can handle the small ones, but if this kind of depression
eating happens again, I will go to the doc for help. Thanks for listening,
Lesanne.

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. Thanks

for asking,
Joyce.

Just remember that most medications for depression take about 3 weeks to
take effect. You might talk to the doctor before it happens again.

I started taking Celexa (an anti-depressant) and it has helped a lot. I
really hate the idea of taking a drug like that b/c it makes me feel
like I have a weakness b/c I can't take care of myself. But I wish you
luck, I hope that you find a solution. I did hear that some of them can
make it hard to lose weight or even cause you to gain weight. However, I
find it makes me want to be more active.

One brand that will actually help you lose weight is Wellbutrin. It is also
used to help people quit smoking and help control the munchies.

Don't think of this as a weakness. Many forms of depression are actually
caused by chemical imbalances and are out of your control.

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. Thanks


for asking,

is! I have

felt great the rest of today.

Thanks, Fred. I'm still OP, so things are really looking up. Sure hope nothing else happens to
stress me out again!

Thanks Lee. I know that the meetings are very important to me and the one I go
to is just great. Even when I didn't go to the meeting, I used this group as my
lifeline & eventually the depression lifted. It seems to be gone now & hopefully
will stay away. I usually think of things as 1/2 full rather than 1/2 empty, but
not this time. ... Doesn't matter now as I seem to be back to normal ;-D and it
feels great.

Thanks Laura, but I know I will not take drugs unless I need them and this
depression (the worst of it) lasted about 3 weeks. Usually I can pull myself out
of it in a couple of days by walking, but I find I can't walk these days, so I
must find another way to break it - I'm thinking about Curves as an alternative
but don't know if my aching bones will be able to handle it ;-D

Just remember that most medications for depression take about 3 weeks to
take effect. You might talk to the doctor before it happens again.

Thanks, Lesanne. Since I have never had a bout like this one, I just

thought I
could handle it on my own like I did with the other smaller ones. I now

realize
that if it happens again, I must get the docs help. I do now I will binge

again
from stress, but I can handle the small ones, but if this kind of

depression
eating happens again, I will go to the doc for help. Thanks for listening,
Lesanne.

This has happened to me so many times! Just write down somewhere how

medication for a bit when you realize it. I have used it several times

it
