Hey Princess...there are thousands of us out here dealing with depression. "People" are saying "everyone is depressed now and seeking happy pills instead of just getting on with it". I don't think it is that at all, I think it is that FINALLY it is allowable to admit it instead of being ashamed of it and now people are coming forward and discussing it. I am no longer feeling guilty about it, and having to make meds, anymore than I ever felt guilty about needings specs or a cast!

I have never felt so hopeful in my life about finally controlling this weight now that I am trying this WOE. I admit, I am spending a LOT of time on it right now, as I have so much to learn, and coming here helps me so much, but I am sure as I get used to it, it will consume less of my life. I can only believe that as my body shrinks, my self-esteem will soar.

Best of luck to you! I am into induction about a week, but only 3 cheat free days. At least the awful, "this is a hold up, give me your bagel" cravings are over. Feel free to talk to me anytime in my journal if you like. Having a pal in this would be a big help! Margot aka mollymom
