Can't Quit Eating
| Sat, 11-05-2005 - 1:17pm |
HI Everybody - I'm not doing so hot today. I have fallen right back into my old habits of eating. I think it is because I have been very anxious over the past couple of days. My Gram wants to take me out to dinner tonight but I don't want to go. I'm just so tired. I feel like I could sleep the whole day away. I haven't gone to the gym since the incident with the treadmill (I weigh too much to use the damn thing). I hate the fact that I have let myself go so badly. Yes, being on Depakote and my thyroid disorder has contributed to my weight but, so has my eating habits and lack of exercise. I hate the way I look. I'm tired of wearing "fat" clothes. I am so tired in the mornings that I have been missing my 9:30 am water aerobics class because I keep oversleeping. This has been a long standing issue with me though. I'm always tired in the mornings I think it is because of all the psych meds that I'm on. I'm up to 5 now just for my Bipolar Disorder. It sucks!!!! Anyway, I guess I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening - Hope you all are doing well this weekend. Take Care - Jena

I have a lot of days like that too. For me, it is my depression getting the better of me. I try to force myself to take a walk or do something. Maybe you can force yourself to get ready and go out with your Gram tonight. The company might do you good, even though I know how it feels to want to just crawl into bed and avoid the world. Hugs.

I can SO relate to you! I have been HUGE for about ten years due to psych meds. I too have been eating a lot lately due to stress. And, I haven't been to the gym lately mostly because DH has not been able to take me (we share a car), but also because we have been busy all the times we usually went. I trust that things will improve, though...
Express!

Glad to hear you went out and that it helped a little. Remember, tommorrow is another day and you can start it with a clean slate in the morning, as far as the food thing goes. If you can keep your depression in check, the eating will be to.

ya know...as I was reading your post I was wondering if you were on lamictal also.
