> Tell your doctor that the weight gain is making you depressed?
I went to my GP doc for a routine exam and he ordered blood work. Never having any major physical problems, I was really in for a surprise by those test results. Come to find out, I have hypothyroidism which is partly why I'm having these crazy emotional freak outs and (you got it) weight gain (when I'm depressed, I EAT!!!) I put on over 20 lbs in less in 6 mos. You talk about depressed! So, maybe you can discuss this with your doctor. He/she might schedule a check up just to make sure you're not having some physical problems that could contribute to weight gain.
