Unmotivated and struggling

That's amazing that you figured it out despite your financial situation. It just goes to prove that if there is a will there is a way. I need to adopt your attitude and just do the vest I can. Thank you for your response!

Your post almost made me cry. I had always struggled off and on with depression my whole life. I too had postpartum depression and was hospitalized in a psych ward after my youngest son was born. My therapist was a Godsend for me. It took three tries to fi D one that I could really open up to and relate well with so if the first is not a good fit keep looking. Meds might help you too even if just short term. When issues are beyond our control sometimes we need help to find ways to deal that work for us. And always feel free to share here too. That's why we're all here!

Thank you for replying. I appreciate you sharing and its nice to know I'm not alone. I see a psychiatrist due to the fact that my brain chemicals never went back to normal since my post pardum and now I have "clinical" anxiety and depression. I'm on 2 different depression meds and also an anti anxiety as needed. I love my psychiatrist because she really let's me talk but I think I need more time to talk than she can give me. I need to get to the root of my issues with food. I'm definitely going to look into a counselor and try that route. 

I really truly appreciate you and your feedback. Thank you,

Buy or make snacks that are good for you.  I like Quest bars and chips.  Bake Eggface recipes.  Muffin In a Mug recipes saved me.  You can't white knuckle forever. This takes time, planning and some money. 

I counted and tracked every snack.  I made them part of my plan and it works for me.

You can totally do this!!! No worries!  Yesterday is yesterday and tomorrow is a new day!  Up your fluids and start right back eating the foods which you know are NOT your trigger foods and keep going.  You got this!!! Time to retrain your brain.  We are all here for you rooting for your success.  

Thank you! Keep the suggestions coming. This is really helping me get a new outlook. 

Awareness and knowhow is key....and you have them both.  Keep your eye on the prize.  Your old ways got you nothing but obese and miserable.  There is so much more to life....you and your kids deserve the best YOU  that you can be.  Chin up...take a few breathes ..and get back on the horse.  You can do it !!!!

Thank you! I needed to hear that. I love knowing that so many people are pulling for me and have my back.
