Is it normal to fall into depression while losing weight?

Its normal to feel down about missing out. but there are other ways to feel good about losing weight. do group activities such as join sports. Do relaxing activities like hot yoga. Have fun with it. I just lost 55 lbs and have another 30 to go to my goal. best of luck.

Which is more important to you. Your shape or those social occasions. If those social occasions are important for your mental health then it is in fact healthier for you to attend them. Just try to order smaller portions.

keep in mind that the diet is temporary and your doing it for a reason

also, when your not eating enough food, in other words, losing weight, it is normal for your mood to go down. but dont do it all the time!

also, eating healthy while your friends eat junk doesnt have to be depressing. it could be that your smarter. but also dont deprive yourself of those foods occasionally.

Are they all slim, are you eating enough calories and are you exercising as well as dieting? Could you attend some of these social functions? It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Depression from eating a salad? Thats a bit extreme, pul yourself together women. Do some cardio, it releases chemicals in your body (i think endorphins) which promote a 'happy' feeling. You'll awesome after a hard workout.

social eating can do this to people. I felt like i was against everyone when it was coming to eat what they eat. Well, on the long run, their fat asses will remain fat and you will be gorgeous. So screw what they eat. Do your own thing. it s not a coincidence 2 in every 3 amercians are everweight or obese.

It could be that you're not eating enough, when I was younger i starved myself, eating about 200 or so calories a day. I became depressed but when I started eating again, I was better. Just make sure that you are eating enough food.

When you are thin you wull be able to have some things like pizza etc aslong as you maintain your regular excercise but until then how about you just take your own food with you and eat with your friends with the food you bring in yourself?

I think it's normal. I've quit smoking before and I missed the social part of it the same way you are missing the social part of eating. And just like with smoking, you have to keep in mind that missing the social part of it is minor compared to what you will gain by sticking to your goal. Good luck!

I don't know why you're feeling low. I've lost fifteen pounds by eating healthy things like salads and oatmeal and whatnot, and avoiding unhealthy comfort food.
I've never felt better about my appearance, and I don't miss the unhealthy stuff.
How long have you been dieting? What kind of diet? You may be going through carbohydrate withdrawal, or some such. If that's the case, your brain will adjust, and you'll hardy consider scarfing down some fried chicken when afforded the opportunity.
Don't falter!
