Hi Buffie,

Starting a log can be very theraputic. And it sounds like you are already on medication for depression, as your statement "Tell Why I Should Bother? We All Are Going To Die Any Way" clearly shows you do need additional spritiual support.

Allow me to give you some quick philosophy:
Why bother? Heres why...

For the time that you ARE HERE, (hey if you lived to be 80 thats 20 years babe) you want to increase the quality of your life and well being.

You may in fact find that once you knock off 5, then 10, then 15lbs, you will be encouraged and really enjoy this way of eating, way of life. Being encouraged about ANYTHING when you have severe depression is a win in all the books!

Of course, we will all die someday, but I want to give myself every opportunity to make it one day further away than if I continued my old way of eating. and besides... I'd rather be a skinny corpse!
:-)
