Can get myself to become depressed so i can lose weight. do you have suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You don't have to: Be depressed to lose weight. In fact being depressed makes some people eat excessively. Do whatever you can to feel better about yourself. If you are overweight, work to have healthier life habits, both eating better and exercising will help. Consider psychotherapy to talk about your issues with weight.
