Hi everyone. I am 48, 4'10 and 196 lbs. I am married to a wonderful man, been together 27 years and have a 30 yr. old daughter. I have worked full time as an office manager for 5 yrs, love my job but hate my new boss. I have tried everything to lose this weight. At my height, every ounce shows. I did Atkins a few years back and lost 43 lbs. I kept it off for a year but then had gall bladder surgery and gained it all back. I need help! Seems like I never feel full or I will feel full but then hungry again in 10 mins. If I don't eat by 9:00 am I will get very sick to my stomach and feel faint. I don't know what to do. Every day I get dressed my clothes get tighter and tighter. I hate the way I look. I avoid looking in mirrors because I know how horrible I look. I have been to the dr and she thinks it is depression. I can't make her understand that I am depressed because of my weight. She has had me on several anti-depressants but nothing helps with my hunger and I end up feeling like a zombie. Well, there you have it, me.

First of all, thank you for posting here..that first step of reaching out and saying "I have to do something about my weight" is a tough step.
The next thing you need if you don't have it already is a plan of action.. I recommend the sticky thread in the nutrition and exercise forums and reading the success stories of many who have been where you are.
I would not recommend and fad diets, but using the sound lifestyle change methods. It is helpful to start a diary of your progress to track your goals and seek advice on you nutrition or exercise plans.
Welcome!

Hey Chati and welcome. I feal your pain with the anti-depresents. I was diognosed with depression back in 2000 and the doc put me on Paxil. I will never again touch the stuff for alot of reasons which i will not go into. With Paxil i was always hungery and when i first started, my weight was around 220. I realy put on alot of weight since and had a hard time controlling it. I was up to 326 pounds in just 6 years. Now im on a different anti-depressant "Wellbutrin" and my weight is now stable and I have lost 43 pounds since 2006.
You say you get realy sick if you don't eat by 9am. Could you explain it a little more how exactly you feal?
Im not sure if anything i said is helpful, but i wish you the best luck and never give up!
