    I would say in my case it makes no RATIONAL sense. A viscious cycle of depression and eating is responsible. I ate compulsively to deal with emotions (rather than drinking, drugging or even smoking cigarettes as a stress-reliever), got depressed over my size, ate in response to depression, periodically tried dieting, would have some success at weight loss, some issue or other would arise and I would respond by medicating with food. I have never been able yet to look at it as a momentary step off plan when I violate a diet – my thinking is very all or nothing. One days indulgence leads to two. If issues are psychological, generally increased weight is linked to depression and incredibly poor coping skills. Medication alone won’t do the trick. That’s my answer any way. Not that I’m proud of it – I certainly wish it wasn’t so. I’m sure I’ll make repeated efforts at weight loss in the future.
