I went off my diet big time last week and the trend has continued to this day.
I keep walking each morning, but only half-heartedly, so it's not doing much for me.
I was doing a high protein, low carb diet, but after a month I wasn't feeling well. This happened the last time I tried this diet. Unfortunately, this bad feeling hit at the same time as my unreasonable depression. So, I started attacking candy, potatoes, bread, blueberry cobbler...and I haven't quit.
I need psyciatric care, the kind where they put you in a padded room on heavy medication. (But at least I don't have Blackberry (c) addiction.)

Maybe the high protein low carb diet is not the right one for you Ness. And maybe your depression is partly related to the lack of carbohydrates in your diet...why don't you see a doctor or nutritionist to come up with an optimum diet? Those that are supposed to be fast acting often have adverse side effects...and you need to love yourself healthy, not hate yourself thin.
Again -- ditto what Jenn said.
And don't feel bad about the carb thing. I have talked myself out of going to the store to buy cake three times today. Cake -- chocolate with butter cream icing .... crap
Haha...you know I am really mean. I made double fudge frosted brownies...for other people. I mean, it's really nice and rich and all that...but I'm giving them all away.
Have already given three boxes away (and won some brownie points along the way, hehe).
Somehow I don't feel like eating anything. Which is unhealthy, because sumo wrestlers starve themselves to their massive sizes (starve and binge, starve and binge).
Nessa, we're here for you, babe.
Hi you two love, bestest friends:
Yes, I think the lack of carbs is not good for my brain chemicals and that's why I'm binging.
I still didn't get that book, Jenn. I think that will be top on my list of things to do for myself tomorrow.
Mmmm - choc cake with butter cream frosting. Good thing I'm too lazy to run to the store and I'm too tired to bake.
WHYYY??? enjoy... i would say...and then again... if u Do feel bad... :(
and yea, you are damn right about the intuition... need to pay more attention to it
Neers: I might enjoy if I could not eat so much that I make myself sick (but not so sick that I throw up. Euw, yuck.)
Golden...hey I have a site for you to check out. I used it to lose some unwanted weight myself. It's mostly about portion control and moving around...yeah...exercise.
www.sparkpeople.com
Sorry, I'm not good with links. Computer illiterate here.
But I feel your pain. There's a lot of motivational pages there too. Check it out, see what you think. I'll be back to check on ya :)
Dabich: Thanks for the site. I will check it out.
Good luck!
Hang in there, Goldie. We all fall of the wagon here and there. I'm here supporting ya!
Grunty: Thanks. Means alot.
How funny to read the comments. My daughter just told me of the web page www.sparkpeople.com I have not gone there as yet;however, she sounded pleased with the site.
Her is an easy way to cut back:
Purchase one clear glass plate, turn over, with a permanent marker divide into four equal markings. Pretend you are slicing that apple pie! When you have your meals do not skip what you prepare for the family just serve supper on your special plate. each portion of meat, rice, vegetable should be inside the markings and not overlap or touch. Tada! instant portion control. I of course have only gotten as far as buying the plate and making the marking!!!I do need motivation. fall is coming and that is a great time to walk. shoveling snow is a wonderful exercise. Look at all the fun that awaits us...Have a great day.
I know how hard it is but you have to hop back on.
When you have a day or two or 14 (vacation), you can't feel too guilty. Just start again and you'll feel better. Go slowly.
I had brownies for dinner a week ago - felt guilty for a day but the next day, I stopped with sugar again.
Thinking of you. Hugs.
Fits and starts.
