Hi there and you certainly have my sympathy. The trouble with waiting until things are ''in a better place'' is that place hardly ever comes. I don't know how you have usually managed to loose and gain weight in the past but if it's by basically binging and then starving ~ then carrying on like that won't work. I've been doing this method for the last 30 years and while it did kinda work, these days it does not. One reason is because I've messed up my natural metabolism by this method of weight loss and second is I now take mood stabilising meds which encourage weight gain (Grrrrrrr!). It's dreadfully difficult to pay attention to a regime when you are depressed, I so understand that BUT, if you can just try to not binge or starve, you stand a much better chance of finding a way of fairly healthy eating (not a ''diet'') and sticking with it. I'm having to listen to my own advice here because I STILL haven't found a fail~safe healthy eating regime yet, I'm working on it though. I wish you well with your on~going struggles, I'm sure you'll get there in the end. I think a lot of us here understand how difficult it is to be ''healthy'' when we're feeling so down on ourselves and everything. Maybe knowing you're not alone may help. I send you big HUGZZ and lots of LOVES. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Thanks for this!
