Shona, Congrats on joining the century club!! As far as emotional eating goes....I entered into counseling to look and at deal with WHY I have the need to eat. I realize that you have a very full schedule BUT one hour a week would not be too much more for you to handle. Dealing with stress is one of the biggest issues that I had to address. My therapist has helped me a great deal and my self-confidence has risen 100% since I began therapy. You might even check into your school and see if they offer student counseling services. Good luck. KimmieTN

October 08th Dear Shona: Greetings! I read your post on the messages board today and was concerned for you. Weight loss causes extreme changes physiologically in us----especially women! Hormone changes are immense in woman losing large amounts of weight====add all the stressors you described=====school, work, and motherhood to a two year old! Allow yourself to experience the changes in your body, use the medication your doctor prescribed, and don't put PERSONAL BLAME on your feelings of depression-----they are a physical response to what you're currently going through. Please feel free to write for some chatting if you need to express. Sincerely, Lori Ann

Shona, My heart goes out to you on the loss of your cousin. It is so sad when someone loses their struggle, especially to MO. I know at first its not always comforting, but know that she is in a better place, where her weight and health is no longer an issue. Hugs, Lisa
