am i depressed?

[abarta83 118]

I feel like I must have looked forward to eating and cooking and trying restaurants so much before surgery that I don't have anything to look forward to after work or on the weekends....like I need a hobby..I already excercise...I just feel like now that's been taken away from me I need to restructure my life around? Ughhh idk...

Nope your not depressed at all...You are on a journey to improve your life and you are doing it...you finding other things to do besides eat is a big step forward.............Your kicking it!!!!!!!!

You really are....

Any suggestions? I need something to occupy my free time..I used to coupon but that turned into more work than fun..I'm not big on reading..what do people do?

I craft. Scrap book mainly!

Some people volunteer somewhere like the hospital..Some people train for marathons...Some people think about the things they gave up because of the weight or because they raised children or got to busy...Reopen your mind to the things you used to like to do and revisit them..See if you like them again....

Enjoy your new freedom from less weight and live life.......You might not find your thing just now but it is out there waiting for you....Sounds like a fairy tale but this part of your journey is the first part...It gets even better!!!!!!!!!!

I find i am more concerned about food then I used to be..I look for really good recipes that are high in Protein....But tastes good to..I have also been trying new foods that I have never eaten before..it is fun for me for some reason...........

Funny u mention that recipes etc..I'm finding that I'm very disinterested in food..creating recipes and cooking would frustrate me I think..like to put a bunch of time into something I can only take two bites of ...LOL rather just drink my shake and keep it moving..maybe my answer is going to be more like running up my credit cards on new smaller clothes..haha!

Retail therapy is always an option but stay within a budget or you will get depressed when the bill arrives. I have filled the "void" with crafts (knitting, tatting, crochet and weaving) so I am always looking out for sales on yarn.
