I'm trying. That's why I found this forum lol. My dietician has been trying to get me to join a support group for a few weeks now

Just don't do it unless you want to stay fat. I know that seems like an uncaring opinion but it isn't... It's truthful and honest

Life will always throw something at you you can't control. Your weight isn't one of them... So dig deep, recommit yourself and make it happen"

Honestly, everyone is right. I'm also under a lot of stress, having a dad in stage 4 cancer, and he is the caregiver of my mom, who I think has a touch of dementia or alzherimers.

Nonetheless, my point is, as mentioned above, life will always throw us curve balls. Having been banded, we need to decide how to react to that. It might not be easy, but you have to gain control. Post here for support. This group is awesome. Also, track your food on MFP (mitfitnessplan.com). Great way to stay focused & be aware what we're eating.

Another option is to see your primary Dr, and see if he/she thinks you might benefit from taking an anti-depressant. You never know, it might just be the thing you need to helo you deal with life's stresses right now.

Good luck! And remember, we're all here to support each other! You can do it!
