Hi, I’m overweight. I just had a baby but I’ve been over weight since before my third pregnancy. My problem is that my depression makes it hard for me to get motivated but I know once I do workout I feel better. It’s kind of a viscous cycle.

First of all congratulations. Motivation, I understand . Our children rely on us every moment. By the time it is your time. You must be beat. I know I am!
Welcome! this is the greatest place for advice and support. you CAN do this! chin up darling it will come with time. I know depression, I have suffered for my whole life I think. but when I am depressed, I will just make myself smile and giggle for no reason and it actually works. when you smile or giggle, it releases endorphins in your brain and causes you to feel better. I hate being depressed but when I am I just want to wallow in it. it is so hard not do this but I promise the smile/giggle exercise will make it easier. chin up and if you need to talk just message me!
Sam053j, I am sorry you are suffering from the depression. I miscarried in 1992 and have suffered from depression off and on every since. On top of that I went from approx 140 to approx. 220 pounds before I discovered Atkins. I lost some of the weight but still struggle with keeping it off because I have metabolic syndrome and can't eat even an apple without gaining. I am just starting a weight lost program at the hospital which concentrates on low carb. Sometimes you have to lose a little weight quickly tk motivate you into losinv more. Check to see if your hospital offers a program.
