Depression and being overweight
Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 2:53 AM filed under Weight Loss postings
I was always skinny as a kid and growing up I was always hyper. Even into my 20's, I never weighed more than 120 pounds. I started having kids when I was 27. My first son, Joshua died when he was a little over three months old of SIDS. Brianna was born in 1996 and Tyler in October of 2000. Easter 2000, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. My mother has always been my rock and as I got older she became my best friend as well. We did a lot of stuff together, between, shopping and reading and Alanon meetings. So when she died June 27, 2001, my world fell apart. Part of me died with her that day. On January 22, 2002 I quit smoking. I don't remember when I started getting the birth control shot but between that and quitting smoking, and depression I packed on the pounds. Now here I am, another year older and I hate my body! I've tried so many things and just cannot seem to take even a pound off. I wish there was something that would help.
