Yvette, You've come to the right place for help. Everybody here knows what you're going through, because we all have problems. Not everybody has the same problems, but none the less we all have them. And when we get stressed out about something, food is what makes us feel better ! Right now my husband is having health problems, and I know by Sept. when the doctor does another test on him I will be gained a lot of weight. So out of deperation I came here. And here was Reenie wanting some one to take the challenge to lose between now and August. So I joined her. Now when I want something I think about the others on this message board and I try harder. Good luck , just come here everyday and I will be happy help you anyway I can. Judy

Yvette, Are you seeing anyone for your anxiety and depression? Weight and depression can be a vicious cycle. Why don't you join Reenie's challenge. Even if I don't lose any weight, I'll be healthier. Hang in there. We're here for you. Hugs, Connie

Thanks for reading my post . I'm in treatment for my ansiety and depression. But I wanted to try going back to work feeling myself productve again. Having my own money for my things. Now I'm here just trying get better and look what to do in my future. Love yoy all, thanks.

Yvette, it's so good to see you posting! I'm sorry, sweetie, for the difficulties you're having; Judy is right on about the problems - this is the biggest surprise of my journey. I thought all my problems would just disappear -- melt away with the weight. Wow, talk about a reality check. We will always have life's problems to deal with - loss of jobs, divorce, kid problems, deaths, all of it - it's never going to go away. What we must learn to do is navigate through the very real, very painful, very difficult times in a different way than we used to; without using food as a crutch to make us feel better or numb out the pain. Food is energy; food is fuel for our bodies. We must look to other means to help us get through the rough patches. Feel better, sweetheart, and stay close. Love, Reenie

Yvette, checking in -- how are you doing? Please post to the Board, we need to hear from you. Reenie
