I get depressed when i can't



Recommended Posts

On off days or days where I can't fit exercise in, I get depressed. My mind just can't wake up and everything seems wrong.

Funny that a few weeks ago I posted about how I don't like exercise. Now I think I'm addicted to it. Wicked!

I LOVE exercise now and I want to spread the message. If you're feeling depressed, seriously, try it for a few weeks.

If you're a beginner, start with Leslie's walk at home dvd's. I do them almost daily along with other things. It should pep you up!

I just don't get it Amy! But on that note my husband wants me to go on a five mile hike with him this morning... So I am off and I will let you know if I liked it.

Correction! He wants to do 10 miles I want only five! Well see who whines louder when we get there!

When I suffered from depression (after my Mom's death), my doctor "made" me join a gym or exercise class, so I joined Curves & it really did help with getting me back to my old happy self. Works better than anti-depressants!

Regarding getting addicted to exercising...I have heard/read that it can really happen! We give up a food addiction for another addiction (& hopefully a good one like exercising!) You sound really motivated & that's a great thing!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
