Emotional Troubles?
I implemented this forum so that we can have a place to discuss the darker side of dieting..something that affect millions of people every day.
Personally I know of several people who have become quite depressed through their weightloss efforts and have become emotionally withdrawn from life. It's tough to get them back on track because their weight issues and lack of results from dieting cause them to be constantly depressed.
I also have one other friend that I've known for a long time who has gone "extreme" in her dieting. She has been hospitalized in the past for binge eating/purging. And the funny thing is, she's not heavy at all..she just has a poor image of herself when it comes to her weight (she is 5'2, 120lbs).
Do you guys know anyone like this, or are you yourself dealing with these issues?
