[QUOTE="Star*, post: 290350, member: 4964"] TM, Sometimes when we feel at our worst is when we start to begin to realize we are not at our best. So you have to ask yourself "How important AM I?" Do you think maybe you're worth a physical? Are you worth going to a doctor to have some blood work done to find out why you may have put on some weight? Can you admit to yourself that you take care of EVERYONE else around you so they shine, shine, shine and neglect yourself like a frumpy old teddy bear? (are you nodding?) YOU ARE WORTH A TREASURE FAR GREATER THAN GOLD? Isn't that what the book says? (or umm.....something like that?) I know EXACTLY how you felt. I also know that even though I felt that way and gave up ALL foods and did WW's - I gained weight. I didn't feel and wasn't healthy enough to do much exercise but tried and only frustrated myself further. When I went to the doctor what I found out? That NO MATTER HOW MUCH I dieteted - without a certain medicine to process sugars/insulin there was NO WAY my body could - and therefore dieting was futile. Huh- so who was going to tell me that? Nice. I guess what I'm saying is that before you start to diet or do any exercise here - go get a physical and get some blood work done - make a list of ALL the stuff that makes you feel too tired, run down, stressed out - hair on your face (if it is) or whatever ails you and no matter how insignificant - take that list to your doctor. Get some tests run - and then go from there - it may be that like me - your sugar is high - and you need a special diet - etc. I mean - what if? Now I'm on three medications to help me supress appetite and while I've only seen 1 lb. loss - and have totally eliminated sugars and most starches - I do feel better and exercise more each day - started at 5 minutes, then 10 and I think Grace Upon Grace was right - she said my body would crave it - and as weird as it sounds now I kinda look forward to 10 minutes a day. (once the indian rub burns left my thighs from the stationary bike that is) I thank you for the back fat joke the other day - it really did get me in trouble at work but it was worth the lol but on the way home I thought OMG if she's serious?

I have not come back to the HL forum because I really felt defeated when I started years ago - I was so into it - and really stuck with it with little to no results and I was only more depressed.
