Whether a symptom, a cause, or both, depression is a common comorbidity. This is something that will not be addressed by any weight loss surgery.

Today I went to the gym and weighed in at 336 pounds, definitely a move in the wrong direction. When I’m not posting, it’s a pretty safe bet that I’m off the rails. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill on a weight loss program setting, burning 310 kilocalories. My knee has been fully recovered for about a month.
I weighed in at 339.5 today. Clearly the head-in-the-sand diet, the ice cream-sugar-fat-and-soda diet, and no-exercise calorie burning philosophy isn’t working out.
It’s quite easy to change your weight fast.
Your clothes will tighten up and you’ll be having recurring chest pain again in no time!
New Scientist reports that housework staves off anxiety and depression. Just 20 minutes a week is highly effective, reducing the risk of depression by 20%. Sports reduces it by a third, according to the study.
Now, I don’t know about y’all, but 20 minutes of housework wouldn’t even come close to the time needed to pick up after myself. When I was super extra morbidly obese, 500 pounds, I required some living assistance and had a housekeeper. However, I can do things for myself nowadays. I’m a bachelor, so keep that in mind.
