Mon 03-30 WLL ... Weight Loss & Depression, Dealing with It.

[TeonaTeoo]

Oh my I'm only 16 and i have gained so much weight. I was 110 lbs and i was so healthy now i weigh 135 lbs. =[ I never felt any worse i could feel the fat on me. I used to do sports i ate normally and very healthy. I think i may depressed. I have lost interest in so many things im embarrassed to go out ANYWHERE especially to school. I can barely concentrate I sometimes just wanna fade away or something for a while, but come back when i feel like i am changed and comfortable. =[ This is horrible.

[puuurdypatty]

Did you just say 'TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES AND EACHOTHER' sounds familiar!! JERRY JERRY JERRY! hahaha.either way YOU ARE MY FAVE VLOGGER!

[waterchicklet]

haha editing fail! its all good sugar, it happens to us all eventually.

[Hellybabe]

monday is perfect with you :)

[weightlosslosers]

That's a valid point, however since these are all topics we agree on as a whole it would be inappropriate for me to make a 30 seconds video saying, "Sorry, I'm not posting today because I have never been depressed."

I think to keep the spirit of the channel, it's best to offer our own personal insight with the issue at hand whether we have experienced it or not.

Would be a boring week if the 5 of us never went through depression and simply posted videos on why we aren't going to post.

LOL

You so deserved to have an edit FAIL!! Especially after giving me such a hard time on the phone :p

And -- for the record, you were supposed to say "endless homework assignment" :p

Just teasing, great vid as always. Walking is a great way to relieve stress, and I don't believe you are in the minority with the medication comment, we have way too many prescriptions floating around out there! <3 5 stars

[tbossbone]

<3 love for you

[racegurl29]

I love Mondays with Al!!!

[singingbeauty17]

wow, never depressed!? dayum

coooool

great video

[weightlosslosers]

I mean, I've had some down days but I don't consider it a case of depression. Depression seems more long term for me, like weeks or months. Never had that.

:) Thank you

[justacameragirl]

You are such a talented presenter

[weightlosslosers]

[jcarcobaltss]

[weightlosslosers]

[cashpath]

[weightlosslosers]

<3 thank you! so much!

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you!

[vzballa]

Definitely great advice Al! I also go out and walk when I feel down or am upset, it is a great way to clear your mind and see things a lot better...Thanks!

[weightlosslosers]

Yes sir, you are an inspiration for all of us to get out there and walk!

[paul20072007]

Solid and down to earth advice as always.

Doctors do throw pills at things, but to be fair there are a lot of people looking for that magic bullet that will save any effort on their part!

Great vid.

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks Paul, I try to keep it real. I agree.

[AEAFHCO1018]

Yeah, it's weird. When I'm losing weight the amount of weight I lose or if I gain directly affects my mood. Days I gain, I feel extremely depressed and down - it's kind of a horrid cycle.

And depression definitely comes out more when you have unhealthy obsessions/relationships with food, as in Eating Disorders and such...

[weightlosslosers]

Very good points.

[LINDSTROMTODD]

Hey Al, check out some of my videos, tell me if you think I would be good for wll. I dony hold back with my opinions or advice. I have lost almost 40 lbs. since Oct.1 08 and I will lose 60 more this year by eating well and exercising any way let me know. LindstromTodd...Todd Fat To Fit

[myskinnymission]

You put a huge debate in my head al. but hey way to say how you deal with depression way to have an awesome topic this week.

[weightlosslosers]

A debate about what sis? Thank you! :)

[cleobabyra]

Sometimes depression pins you down, and you feel like you can't step foot outside. But your right, once you get off your butt and break the "feel sorry for yourself all day" cycle, it changes everything.

[weightlosslosers]

Yes, it does. Yes, it does.

[primus567]

very good topic.. great vid :)
