fasting???

ok im probably going to get a bunch of crap for this but i have tried diet after diet and cant loose weight, I think i may have a major depression problem, so im also having issues getting motivated to do anything, i just hate my life right now and have to fight with my everything to even get outta bed everyday. I know that i should be happy i mean i have my baby boy that i love to death and i seem to be happy when im playing with him but i dont feel like it. on top of being depressed i feel like a horrible mom. so my SO decided to suggest fasting to at least get rid of some of this fat. so my question is. is there such thing as healthy fasting? I have that drink powder stuff that they say is to help women lose weight (dont remember the name) so if i drink that and only drink lots of water and juice will i be ok? after i lose some weight i do intend on exercising and eating right, i just want to get started so i have a little bit of hope or motivation.

No fasting to lose weight is not ok. It is not healthy and once you start eating you will gain it all back.

What you need to do is see your Dr. ASAP to be checked for PPD and possibly be put on meds to help you out

No.. If you're not getting enough calories in the day, your body will go into starvation mode & you wont lose weight at all. & At that point its very hard to get OUT of that starvation mode to start losing weight. Trust me, I'm trying too right now.

fasting isnt the way- it sends your body into "starvation" mode and you'll plateau really quickly and wont lose a bunch of weight

exercise and small meals throughout the day

Fasting isn't a way to lose weight. You're just going to gain it back when you start eating/drinking again. Fasting is more of a cleansing of the body and soul, not a diet trick.

Sound like you are a bit postpartum... I would call your doctor!!!! Also you need to eat, especially if you are feeling depressed!!! You will feel worse if you don't eat!!!! try taking a B vitamin supplement.... and get out and go for a walk... staying in the house will make you feel worse!

well you may loose weight but it woudnt be healthy and u prolly gain back the same weight maybe even more after u stop fasting
plus its better to loose weight by doin excercises then having a diet
u just have to watch what ur eating
i lost 17 keys but my body did get "sloppier" and i know that its cause i havent lost my weight in a healthyway and i used to yo yo alot..

No, there is no such thing as healthy fasting.

Plus fasting can actually make your metabolism worse, so it wont help you with any permanent weight loss either.

Sorry mama, but thats a no go.

ugh, i just want to be happy again, im soo sick of this im over 200 pounds... my weight gain has ripped me apart, ripped my relationship apart, I just want something to work, i just dont want to feel like this anymore. i just came to the realization today that i may have depression, i think i was in denial. i hate this its so hard to feel like this.   *tears*

If you get help for the depression, its likely that will have the biggest impact on any weight loss you may want to achieve. Tackle that first mama.

sorry, i am having a total breakdown, i have been faking being ok for too long and its all hitting me at once. i dont want anyone to thing this is drama or anything, i didnt know that it was this bad

Are you home alone or is there someone there with you?

Quoting Taiter Tot's Mama [AP]:“ Are you home alone or is there someone there with you?”

Is there someone you can call to come over, or even just to be on the phone with you for awhile?
