It has been a while sence I have been on lapbandtalk. And now when I come in need. I have lost 80 pound, with still over a hundread to go and have stoped loosing. I may loose a few then gain a few then loose a few and gain a few... It's not that I don't know why. I do. I am just depressed and REALY whant to eat. Now this sound like a post for emotional help. I need that but not as much as I need prayer. I lost my grandfather a few weeks a go (10-24-09) and had MANY minor helth problems. I am sure there is more that is keeping me down and I don't know what that is but I know God does. I don't know where to start, but I know God does. I know I can't do this on my own, but with God all things are possible. Thank you I appretiate your prayers. Karissa

I already am praying for you as I type this. Congratulations for the 80 lbs. lost!!!! That is GREAT!!! I think your body is just stressed out from all the emotional things you are dealing with. Don't give up things will get better.

You and I both know that when we eat out of stress it just makes us feel worse not better. So stop it now before it gets too out of control. God gives us strenght you just have to dig down inside yourself and find it.

If your depression is more than normal see a doctor and get a mild antidepressant. I have been stuggling with clinical depression for about 5 years and it can be a scary place to be, so if you need some help get it early. I am a big believer in God 's healing power but that has not happend for me yet. But I am still praying and believeing and expecting the total joy to return to my life. I went through 2½ year of counciling with a Christian councilor through my Church's association. Maybe you can find something like that. I really helped me so much and I use the coping skills I learn still to this day.

You can private message me anytime. I will be praying for you. You will get over this hurdle and you will not have to do it alone. You know God is always with us so know you are never alone.

Ask Him in prayer to make food something unimportant to you. He can help you!!!
