I am soo depressed about my weight?
I know that you already know what to do, so I don't need to tell you. Let me tell you what will happen if you DON'T though- you will continue to gain weight, then next year when you "get serious" you will be pushing 300 pounds at it will be even harder! You won't want people to see you working out, it will be even more embarassing. You need to for so many reasons! Depending on your height I am sorry but 230 is NOT the worst ever. It is what, a size 18 or 20? Don't give up on your appearance- shop at Lane Bryant, super cute stuff there--- but you need to stop the gaining now, instead of later. It will only be harder and you are too young to not experience all the things that you would be more comfortable doing if you were at a lower weight. Don't take that away from yourself just because you can't get motivated. Do something, whatever you can--- walk the stairs, get a gym membership, walk/run, swim, do something in your house. Cut your calories and start taking care of your appearance, it will make you personally feel better and more motivated. Also, tell someone you are doing it- someone who won't judge you, that way you feel like someone is watching and excited for you and any results you will have, it is better than trying to do it on your own, because it is easier to fail that way! Good luck and chin up! They say you will never be as beautiful as you are now- so live every day to better yourself in your own opinion and don't listen to the haters!

I’m depressed about my weight, I’m 18, 242lbs & only 5’8″ ft. What can I do?
I was 275lb and suicidal so I know the feeling.The biggest thing I learned was to start small. It’s all in the little changes.Here’s how I changed:Diet first. 6 small meals. That way my mind felt like I was eating more.Started walking outside in the morning. 20 to 30 minutes right when I got up.Moved to elliptical and added resistance.After I lost about 40lbs, I added in high intensity interval training to keep toning up while I lost more weight.Once I lost 60lbs I added in weight lifting to HITT workouts.Ate 2000 calories a day with 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fat.Once I lost 75lbs and added a few pounds of muscle, I started cycling to cut.I rode outside 3 times a week and lifted weights twice a week.As you can see I simply kept adding new things in when it felt like the right time.It’s important to learn your body and adjust when necessary.But doing it this way allows you to ease into weight loss and feel a sense of progress everyday and every week.The depression will lift once you get into a set routine and have been away from the junk food for a couple weeks.
I gained weight fast and now I feel depressed. Help?
DEPRESSION Depression is a widespread condition, affecting millions of people, Those suffering from depression can experience intense feelings of sadness, anger, hopelessness, fatigue, and a variety of other symptoms. They may begin to feel useless and even suicidal, losing interest in things and people that they once enjoyed. Depression is often triggered by life circumstances, such as a loss of job, death of a loved one, divorce, or psychological problems such as abuse or low self-esteem. God apparently intends for us all to live joyful lives. This is not easy for someone suffering from situational depression, but it can be remedied through God's gifts of prayer, Bible study and fellowship among believers. We must make the conscious effort to help them and take them through these. Feelings of depression can often be solved when those suffering with depression move the focus from themselves to Christ and others. Clinical depression is a physical condition that must be diagnosed by a physician. It may not be caused by unfortunate life circumstances .Depression can sometimes be caused by a physical disorder that needs to be treated with medication and counselling. We should go for a medical check up. We should consider letting God truly be God in our life, He will prove how big He really is, “for nothing is impossible with God” (Bible). Perhaps scars from past hurts have resulted in a sense of rejection or abandonment. That may lead to self-pity, anger, bitterness, vengeful thoughts, or unhealthy fears that have caused problems in some of our most important relationships and can lead to suicide. No matter how bad things are in our life, there is a God of love who is waiting for them. Jesus endured all this so that they might have all sins forgiven. Whatever weight of guilt we carry, if we receive Him as our Saviour, He will forgive. God stands ready to repair what is “broken,” namely, the life we have now, the life we want to end by suicide. Jesus is calling us, “Come Unto me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will you rest” Visit: http://www.webmd.com/ for a detailed information about depression.

Should I give up on losing weight, I feel depressed...?
I go to the gym after school. I walk on the treadmill for 5 mins, then jog for 20 mins, then cool down for another 2 mins. I use the elliptical machine for 20 mins. I use the bicycle for 15 mins and the stairmaster for 10 mins. Then I lift weights for for about 5-10 mins. I do this 5 days a week, and the weekends I rest. My starting weight was 230, now I am around 217, and that has been for exercising for 8 weeks. I eat breakfast, mostly like a banana or 2, a small bowl of cornflakes with fat free milk, or 2 slices of bread with egg whites scrambled. For lunch, I eat in school, and I eat salad with a packet of 15 cals dressing (fat free) and 3-4 pieces of tenders, or chicken, but mostly salad. For dinner, I eat maybe one hotpocket, or 6 chicken bites, brown rice with broccoli, brown rice with pepper stew with oxtail, or chicken cutlet with broccoli. For fruits/snacks, I eat banana, apples, pears (love them), or organic yogurt. Am I doing good? Have I been doing good so far? My goal is to lose 50 lbs, my stomach is not that big, but the number is alot, so I'm wondering, I have 37 lbs left, how long would it take to lose it? How long would it take? Is it good that I lost 13 lbs? ***********Also, I noticed I have worked out harder, but then on the scale, it shows that I haven't lost any, but my pants fit looser. Is it because I'm gaining muscle or because I'm not really losing? And then the next day it says that I gained weight back, so should I care about the number alot also? I work hard to lose it them it seems to take long. I feel like giving up because I feel maybe I'm not working hard enough and that I'm never really going to lose this weight. My clothes get looser, the scale either stays the same or goes down then back up to make me seem like I gain more weight, I have eaten a few candy and soda, I mean I have been exercising 3-5 days a week for 8 weeks and from 230, it went to 225, then 218 back to 222 and I become depressed because I care for the number and feel I'm wasting my time, I'm 5'4" and I don't look how much I weigh, I feel what I do isn't working and that I'll never lose my 50 lbs, I just don't know but I've been crying, feeling like giving up, and just remaining the same. What should I do?
How can I lose weight when I'm extremely depressed?
Just stop eating and your depression will go away.Long fasts are great unless you are underweight or pregnant. If you are underweight then a short few days fast is better for you and if you are pregnant then you shouldn't fast at all. Fasting is great for everything. Within 24–48 hours fasting, your body will have burned through all of its glutamate (sugar) and you will go into a state of ketosis and burn ketone bodies that are generated from your fat storage. The 2nd and 3rd day of fasting are the toughest because your body is adjusting and you will feel hungry and may get headaches. by the 4th and 5th days, your body will lessen the production of Ghrelin, the hunger hormone and you will feel like you could go on fasting forever and you could actually go for months if you have enough fat storage. The record is 391 days. You will first notice a putrid tasting white film on your tongue that needs to be cleaned off several times a day, this is just toxin released through the tongue and this will last for over 10 days if not longer. Your skin and perspiration will also smell really bad. Many people break their longterm fast after the tongue gets clean again as it is an indicator that you are detoxified. What you will also notice is increased energy since you are now burning ketone bodies which are the best fuel source for the muscles, organs, and brain. Your mind will become crystal clear, your I.Q. will go up and all depression and anxieties go away since fasting is the greatest and fastest way to lower chronic inflammation which is the root cause of long-term depression. You might feel so much energy that it will be hard to sleep and if so, there is no harm in working out. This is fasting not starvation. You will lose a lot of weight, up to 2lb a day and your body will go into autophagy, meaning your body will start eating away dead and unneeded cells for food. So scars, acne, skin tags blemishes, stretch marks will fade and most likely disappear completely, your skin will be glowing. Autophagy also eats away tumors, cysts, and bad bacteria in the gut too. Fasting will reset your metabolism. I did a 21 day fast and came out of it a new man.
Help, I am depressed because I am fat?
I can tell by reading your question that you are in a lot of pain. I'm really sorry. Your sisters should be supporting you and not putting you down and making fun of you. Don't give up your exercise routine. That shows me that you are trying really hard and are very disciplined. When I was younger I got up to nearly 190 lbs. and I am 5'8". My weight's been up and down all my life but I've kept it at 140-145 for the last 5 years or so. I started riding a bike for an hour 5 or 6 times a week. I still do it several times a week. Have you changed your eating habits too? I did not really "diet." I shifted my eating to eating more at breakfast and lunch and less at dinner. Cut out junk food and sweets except for a treat now and then. Didn't eat 4 hours before bed. I snacked on fruit and raw veggies more. It's not true that you can't wear cute clothes at 5'4" and 163 lbs. Just because you aren't "skinny" doesn't mean you can dress nicely and find flattering outfits. Ask a lady where you shop to help you find outfits that flatter or keep trying on things till you find the styles and colors that you think look best. Feeling good about how you look is very important no matter what size you are. It's hard working two jobs, I've done it. Try to get as much sleep as possible. That's important for weight loss too. Good luck, hon.
