Before my injury I was fit and thin. Enforced idleness and Lyrica (is there a cheese cake in every pill?) ended that. I know my weight gain is unhealthy and contributes mightily to my depression. I know I eat things I shouldn’t when I feel sad.

I think a buddy system might help a lot. Folks pay a ton to join Weight Watchers online just to get peer support to keep them on track.

Would anyone here be interested in joining a social group devoted to encouraging members through their various weight loss attempts? We could check in each day and report how things are going. We could call it something like I Didn’t Cheat Today or Stop Me Before I Cheat. Some of the guys might even mistake it for a fidelity support group and offer us some unintended entertainment.
