You sound like you are where I was (mentally) right before graduation. Senior year I gained twenty pounds because I never went anywhere and ate such awful junk due to depression. Part of me coming out of it was retaking an interest in my health and appearance. I lost weight because I was ready to move on and be better. The more I lost the more motivated and active I became.
You can't lose the weight in hopes that that will ease depression though. You have to be ready to love yourself again first, and then it will be simple. I wish you all the best, and feel free to contact me if you ever want a word of advice or encouragement. I got plenty of both to spare!

I know the weight loss will not ease the depression...it is not what I am depressed about. But it is messing with my body image and self esteem as a result and I cannot have that! I lost my mommy last March and hav spent the last ten months consoling my self with comfort food. This is just one of the ways I feel lke my grief is consuming me alive and I know I have got to find my way out of it. So for me, now is the tme to make a change. As a result, I spent yesterday in the market and then in the kitchen cooking abunch of different healthy dishes that I could have at my disposal to help get my diet on the right track. Tomorrow, my wokout begins! Pray for me y'all!
