The improved diet & exercize will also help with your depression but you need both. Be really careful also with things like nitrites, red food coloring, caffeine, chocolate...........oh heck, the easiest thing is just eat good clean food as close to the way it grew in nature as possible. Have a good system of routine & rituals in your life & a good social support system & before you know it you will be a whole new you!

BF is being really supportive, and I appreciate it so much. We went shopping the other day and picked up a couple things like spinach and that crumbly cheese for salads. I'm trying to get my water consumption up again...been having a difficult time with that lately. Not sure why. I'd rather eat ice all day...but as long as I'm getting my water in, right?
As for the weight gain on antidepressants...that's one reason it took me so long to ask about them. But do you gain because they make you eat more, or can the actual medication ITSELF make you gain? As it is, I don't eat too much anyway. I don't really gain or lose, either, so I must be eating enough to maintain my weight. Going to have to fix that.
