[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying they are all clinically depressed.  I also said "or other emotional issues."  I have struggled with my weight for most of my adult life and tried every diet under the sun.  The two times I've lost weight and kept the weight off for a long time (the first for about 6 years and this time, it's been off for 4) were when I saw a therapist - and NOT joined WW, Jenny Craig, Physicians Diet, Nutrisystem, etc.

And what I learned is that most fat/obese people have emotional issues and are using food in the same way others use alcohol, drugs, exercise, shopping, or any other (good OR bad) activity that becomes an escape.

And please stop debating the merits of clinical depression with me until you read and learn about it yourself - Asking [quote]If you can't even get out of bed, how do you get the unhealthy foods to gain the weight? Who's cooking? Who's going to the store to buy the unhealthy foods? [/quote]  really shows your ignorance on the topic and I don't want to debate it with you until you at least learn the basics.  [/quote]

When did I begin debating the "merits" of clinical depression? Just calling you on your BS. Why weren't you able to keep the weight off? It's very obvious that you're a disgruntled overweight/obese woman looking to blame everyone but herself. Have at it; I prefer a more proactive approach. [/quote]

God you're such an idiot.  When you (think you are) "calling me on my bs" that's debating the merits of my comments on clinical depression.  And you should learn to read better.  I have kept the weight off, I'm normal weight/BMI so obviously NOT disgruntled overweight/obese.  And since you've already admitted to being overweight, how's that "proactive approach" working for ya?[/quote]

You're extremely immature. You are turning this into a clinical depression argument. And I'm not buying it. But you gave it a good try, though. Just realize most folks don't buy that lame and tired argument. If you were clinically depressed, gained weight and are now better, that's great for you. But your personal experience does not speak for every obese/overweight person.

The proactive approach is going very well, thank you. I gained weight after tubal ligation surgery and generally not being concerned with the weight gain, because I carry it well. But, *I* know I'm not happy/healthy at my current weight, so I've started to do something about it. [/quote]
