Can I be gaining weight because I might be depressed?

Recently, I've had a dramatic change in my life. I got out of a 4 year relationship with someone. The relationship didn't end very well. Basically, he dropped me out of his life, like I didn't exist, this eats away at me everyday and it's been a whole year. I barely eat, but I've put on some weight, my mom has noticed it just as much as I have. Could it possibly be that I'm depressed of stressing over this break up and it's causing me to gain weight? Can I also have depression or possibly get depression from this? I'm constantly telling myself that I'm no good and that no guy would ever want to date me cause of my weight gain. I was a size 135 throughout my relationship and then when it ended I gained 20 pounds and it's always on and off. I do workout but I don't see much of a change at all. I've cut out all sweets and sugars and yet nothing. Can someone please help me out with this, I'm tired of feeling sick about eating or feeling guilty and feeling like no guy will ever date me again because I have gained so much weight. Honestly anything will help.. Thank you.

Recommended Answer:

You gained weight because you ate more calories then you are burning, it simple math. I'm not trying to be a rude, just straight up. You need to start doing cardiovascular exercise, everyday for 20-30 minutes. Why? Cardio has been proven over and over to reduce depression, reduce stress, reduce bodyfat, heart healthy and over-all sense of well being, what's not to like? Also drink lots of water especially before eating. Drink a large glass of water before each meal and you will eat less because the water will fill you up and eating less means weight loss. Also eat lots of high fiber foods, it'll keep you full longer without binging. Fruits, veggies, whole grains and beans have copious amounts of fiber. Also getting 8 hours of sleep is very important for weight loss. Good Luck!!

• Yes. It is proven that stress makes you put on weight. I'd suggest that you start doing yoga - it will help you relax and will dramatically reduce your stress. It's best to find a good yoga teacher and visit his lessons.
• Well depression is one of the main causes of weight gain. Once you get in depression you start eating more as a result you gain weight. The foremost solution to lose weight is to do regular exercise and follow a balanced diet plan. Your calorie intake should be less than what you burn. Also to make your weight lose process easy and quick, you can use some fat burners such as Usp labs OxyElite pro super thermo. It is a thermogenic fat burner that produces heat to burn more calories. With this you can burn more calories even for a little workout. My cousin brother had used and he got amazing results. He lost 10lbs in just 3 weeks. It is absolutely safe and has no side effects at all. Along with it, you also need to do some sort of exercise and take a balanced diet. Try avoiding food stuff that has high calories values. Go for food stuff that has less calories values. If follow a strict diet and workout plan along with OxyElite pro super thermo, then there would be no excuse of nit reaching to your goal of weight lose.
