Still Struggling
I am still fighting just to get my act together, but I think I have turned the mental corner now. The biggest problem I have is pure laziness. Laziness in the act of not planning my food more than anything else. Nothing to eat, grab a fat mac. Did I miss breakfast, might as well pig out in the evening.
Diet is 70% of losing weight. The exercise is used to keep tone and to control stress more than anything else. Again, I know what to do. I just need to do it.

Dave, I read all your posts during the transform contest - lots of them hit me just so and really got me thinking about myself. I understand you take depression medication? Do you realize your own negative thoughts might be holding you back? You call yourself "lazy" and wonder is it "worth all the effort" etc etc. Being alive and healthy is worth it - and YOU are worth it. Have you heard that common patterns of thinking such as hopelesness and self-loathing can fuel depression? I found a certain website and it was like a lightbulb going off - it might seem hokey at first glance, but check out www.serenityonlinetherapy.com/depression . When I think how crappy I treated myself most of my life it’s almost unbelievable - over age 40 and I’m finally just beginning to understand what I’ve been doing to myself. Dave your family & friends love you - you gotta start loving yourself, too! Stop treating yourself crappy and don’t use any negative words/thoughts about yourself - it just feels so good to stop and we all deserve to be treated with respect. All the best, Kasey
