Hi, I've been directed here by my SW consultant, and this is my first posting.
Having joing SW in January this year and lost 2st 12lb by the middle of May - by which time I'd been elected group man of the year; I hit a period of clinical depression - a feature throughout my life.
Since then, my weight has remained more or less the same, mainly because when I'm depressed I experience a number of food phobias and tend to binge on easily accessible things that don't need much preparation, such as yogurt.
Now, even when I use such foods as SW classifies a 'free' and therefore supposedly unlimited for this purpose, clearly there comes a point when it is unhealthy and, even if not actually contributing to weight gain, certainly not condusive to further weight loss; and of course the other problem is that it all but encourages the bingeing - which isn't a good thing at all!
Does anyone else experience such problems - and if so, how do you deal with them?
I've been to my doctor - he is referring me to a counsellor and to the community dietician - and this forum is SW's response...
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
