I used depo in the 90s, but I'd breakout horribly with blackheads and after a year decided to quit using it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't want to give up the greasy-fat-fried, or tasty-but-oh-so-bad foods either. I imagine it cant help much (a`la easier said than done), but DON'T BE ASHAMED! I find when I start feeling bad about myself, I also start hiding (you know, like behind baggier clothing) and then those feelings start fueling themselves. It also makes me feel powerless, like I *can't* change.<BR/><BR/>I know getting fit-n-healthy sucks, but I know you can do it, too. Making little changes is working for me maybe they'll work for you. I negotiate and make compromises: Today I want butter on my toast, so I'll skip other heavier oily things (dressings, pnut butter, etc.) I haven't excluded anything (except fast food restaurants), and just reduced how often I indulge in them.<BR/><BR/>Grazing is my weakest point; it's how I eat and has been difficult to alter. I eat too many of the same things: toast here, then later crackers, and then more bread at dinner. I've been teaching (well, trying to anyhow) myself to substitute: one day cukes instead of crackers or just whole roma tomatoes, a handful of carrots, etc.<BR/><BR/>It's a slow process, but focusing on little goals and succeeding at them (like consciously choosing a veggie sammich over cheesecake for lunch) has fueled my confidence. I want to be more aggressive and be fit-n-skinny NOW, but I'ma sissy-lala and don't like setting myself up for failure. :(Everwildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026333227851447019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143722452311782420.post-5092079178557843792008-12-03T11:47:00.000-05:002008-12-03T11:47:00.000-05:00I can feel your pain with the weight gain. I star...I can feel your pain with the weight gain. I started to gain weight when I was 24. Back then it was only 10 to 15 pounds. Now it is 50 that I need to lose. I don't have pms anymore, I switched my birth control to seasonique. I only have 4 periods a year and they only last 2 days. I don't know why I don't have bloating or pms on this pill but I love it and the lack of periods is wonderful. I never really cared for having a period. When I used to have pms I would eat like a pig the few days before my period which wasn't helping me at all. I'm ashamed of my appearance and really want to lose the weight so I can buy some new clothes and not feel bad about myself. I just don't want to have to give up my favorite foods and eat almost nothing like I did when I lost weight before. Losing weight really sucks in my opinion. I wish it was like when I was younger, all I had to do is skip a meal and I would lose 5 pounds. :(msteelearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808856789926235337noreply@blogger.com
