A biggie...


In regards to my last post, it got a lot of people going, I saw another doctor today. What a world of difference. He didn't rush me out in five minutes, he actually listened to me. The doctor I saw on Monday had a really condescending dismissive tone, he didn't really care, he asked me no questions and didn't even refer to my file.

I agree I do need the tough love. And maybe weight watchers is an option. But I don't need a doctor who couldn't care less. He was rude and didn't even offer me a tissue when I broke down. The guy I saw today has signed me up for counseling and prescribed me a small anti-depressant. I primarily went to the doctor to help me with my moods not my w.loss. The last few months I have been up and down up and down. No in be
tween. If I didn't sleep on a bed in the living room and had to get up when others got up I would spend all day in bed. I am exhausted and cold all of the time. I have no passion to go out. Last week I didn't even get dressed for 3 days. At almost 23 years old I shouldn't be feeling like this.

It is a vicious cycle the tiredness and lack of motivation make me not want to exercise. It's easy saying push through but I just don't have the energy or anything else to make me want to do it. I am content do nothing. I don't want to be like this. I took two positive steps today.

The doctor helped me out.
I did join weight watchers.

I want to thank you guys for the comments and the support. I really need it. I appreciate and am trying to use all of your comments constructively.

I am trying to suck it up and just do it. I promise.

I am so glad to hear that Simone! Good for you to follow through and see someone else.

You are exhibiting signs of depression and the meds should help you although it does take a few weeks for them to take affect.

Good on the steps you took. I think the happy pills [that's what I used to call them] and counseling will help you get things together. That will help propel you onward with other things.

As to getting out. Go with one thing that interests you, no matter how silly or small and start with it. To get motivated, you need to find things you 'like' and build from there.

Losing weight isn't just about learning to control what we put in our pie-holes. It's also about learning to control what goes on our heads and figuring out what's going on in our hearts. Some people can't eat when they're an emotional mess. Others, like me, try to suffocate all the bad feelings with food. I think it would take an effort of herculean proportions to follow a weight loss plan while depressed. Good for you for finding a doctor who understands this and good for you for joining Weight Watchers!
