[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying it's an excuse. I'm saying it's an explanation.

And you aren't clinically depressed if you can just get up and walk and exercise.  When you're depressed (really depressed) you can't even get out of bed sometimes.  It takes so much energy to do anything!

And to anwer PPs question - I don't know about the stats of depressed people 20 years ago, but people coped in a lot of different ways - there were plenty more alcoholics and smokers - that's for sure.  People used to keep bottles of liquor in their desk drawers.  So, my guess is people gravitated to something more socially acceptable (or more hidden) like food over booze (or cigs).  [/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? Again, a cop-out.

While I'm sure there are clinically depressed people who are obese because of their struggles, that is not the case for most obese people in the US. Sorry, but it's just not the case. The obese people I see are walking around, in public....[b]these folks are not clinically depressed.[/b] [/quote]

Personal trainer PP here. You have no freaking idea what you're talking about. Some clinically depressed people still go to work and "function" in society just like any other individual. How dare you diagnose them like this? HOW DARE YOU?[/quote]

Wow...please calm down with the hysterics. I'm simply quoting the pp who said [b]"When you're depressed (really depressed) you can't even get out of bed sometimes.  It takes so much energy to do anything!" [/b] Take your argument up with her. [/quote]
