Fly away depression!: Is ur depression related to ur weight problem? If so you should not feel bad about ur weight & try to think of all the others who are heavier than u. Set goals 4 weight managemnt that are acheivable/ maintainable. Dieting alone may not help some people. U should see amd.Get inspired from seeing ur hubby&kids walk 1hour twice aday &eat lots of fiber+h2o.

In treatment?: Are you getting treatment for your depression? With true major depressive disorder, the best results may come from a combination of appropriate medications and working in psychotherapy (not just meds alone). Are you exercising daily, and getting all the nutrients you need -- especially vit d and omega-3 fats? Some diets can be too extreme. Please talk with your doc about these issues.
