Message: <blockquote data-quote="Helss" data-source="post: 1154587" data-attributes="member: 281399">You've had a very hard few years and depression really takes its toll. Many of us comfort eat and it takes a great deal of persistence to change. BUT let me tell you about my depression. I had it for 15 years before I finally accepted medication. It's only when your brain chemical start to sort themselves out do you realise that depression is a chemically based illness. JUST the same as diabetes. So you are not weak if you are depressed, any more than you are weak if you get diabetes. My DH is greatly overweight, has diabetes all over his family and comfort eats. Not a sign of pre-diabetes even. Whereas I'm slimmer, have a reasonable diet, exercise more yet throw a loop if I over eat carbs. Can I please encourage you to think about medication. It will help you deal with everything else more.Hugs</blockquote>
