Each time I have started a new course I have lost weight. I do however comfort eat when feeling depressed. I do not start eating until 10am which is just a snack but have plenty to drink.
Lunch is usually a sandwich and fruit.
Dinner at night a normal meal. I do however suffer from broken sleep. I wake 4 or 5 times a night. All of the above are better than the depression, which seals me away from everyone. Then I just don't care if I get fat.
