Hope you feel balanced soon!:) 🤗 

Sorry to hear what you're going through. Yeah I can understand. I have been feeling a *lot* better these past few weeks. 

aww, dawnie, you recognize it, which is the first step to working on it. hugs. 

Depression sucks- I hope you get over it soon 🙏 

Hey girly! Just checking in!🤗 

Yes Dawnie, I've been thinking about you! 💕💕💕 

Depression is a battle for many people. I try to disconnect food from my feelings. It is hard but helps. LOVE me some ice coffee, too 

Hey guys, I’m struggling. I really gave up on myself these past few weeks. I can’t say I’m back! And full of motivation because I’m not full of motivation. How does anyone stay on a diet when they don’t see “good” progress?? 1/2-1 lb a week is shit. I guess I’m just too impatient and enjoy extremes *sighs* I’m going to try not to eat like an a**hole tomorrow. I guess that’s a start.  

((((Dawnie!!!!)))) Girl, be kind to yourself. Plus, we love you no matter what you're eating or doing!! Wonderful to see you but sorry you're down. The struggle is real. 💕💕💕💕💕💕 

Maybe try something different, like a gaintain. Set a strict maintenance calorie “do not exceed” and a reasonable protein intake, then try to improve your physical capabilities, like flexibility, strength, endurance, whatever interests you. Don’t worry about pounds or even inches for six weeks. Just different focus but not sliding backwards. Impatience has led me to injury multiple times, and injuries REALLY slow down the process. I understand how depression leads to impatience. You just want to get rid of that feeling, and you feel like skipping rest days or pushing another fifty pounds of barbell plates will push off that feeling.
