    Yes I definitely put on weight when I'm depressed, I eat to find a chemical to lift me up, once I have got full and eating to live.

    Me too CC.. well I can go either way.. eat like a pig or starve.. although I think the citalopram is stopping me from doing that. I've put on about 2 stone in the last few months and cos I'm such a shortie it's very noticeable.. most of my clothes are getting a bit snug.. not good, lol. Mostly I think because lately we've been living on takeaways and ready meals and sandwiches n stuff like that.. and every time I go to the corner shop for milk I end up buying some sweeties too :/ and when I'm sat at the lappy doing schoolwork or even just chatting here.. the kitchen cupboards WERE right next to me, full of crisps n munchies :/ So now I'm banished to the spare room and it'll be a proper decision to go to the kitchen, maybe it will stop... (hahahahha she says hopefully)

    I don't have to cook tonight.. my son is going to make pasta.. bless him.. :rolleyes:

    My son is going to get whipped tonight

    I ate 4 normal sized packs of crisps on the go after I opened his statement in error. I have put on a pound.

    just tell him that you've got a virus or someting if you dont want to mention your depression - it could easily be true at this time of year with all the lurgies flying around innit? :D

    My pattern

    I can't eat when I am actually stressed or dealing with people. I don't like eating when others aren't.

    I find it annoying having to have lunch when I go out/away from home because I hate using public loos to 'go' after I have eaten.

    When I am out of the stress and in a relaxed place, I can gorge till I pop.

    *huggs CC**

    I dont even weigh myself anymore.. too depressing.. even tho I was really unhealthy at the time, if I don't see 5-6 stone on the scale I feel like a failure so I don't look :/
