I do so well... when life is easy. I can eat right, exercise and well I'm pretty darn good at it!! I enjoy all types of workouts and love finding new recipes that are healthy and taste great* My only problem is when life throws me lemons... which happens often... I turn to food for comfort... and it's not just any food it's pizza, burgers, wings, beer etc. Horrible food not only for my body but my mind as well. It sends me into a food como/hangover and it's really hard to bounce back. Usually ends up being a 2 day-2 month binge with fast food, delivered food or just junk in general. Then when I've finally had enough I get back on track start eating right, drink lots of water... and I feel great... sadly it last for 1 month-6 months and then right back to the eating binges. I'm resting at 200lbs right now and I'm 5'7" my biggest has been 220 and my smallest has been 118. I think comfortably for my body shape 140 would be nice* Over the last two years I have lost the same 50lbs three times :( it's so frustrating and depressing. I went to the Dr.s yesterday and he told me to try zoloft for my depression/anxiety... said maybe it would help with dealing with emotions in a more reasonable manor. Hopefully this helps because I know ALL the right things to do when I have a bad day... BUT don't do any of them except for drowned my sorrows with food. TODAY IS A NEW DAY!!!
 
the ups-and-downs can be really hard. regular exercise can help with the depression, but if it's really bad, sometimes drugs can help. However, they can also make things worse, as they can cause you to be lethargic and have no desire to exercise ... just be cautious.
