Third Time Around
So, like the title says, this is my third time on Atkins. I've lost a combine total of over 90 pounds since 2003, but what keeps getting to me is when I start to get stressed/depressed/antsy is that I continue to turn to my cursed comfort foods.
I'd like to think that I'm going to be able to handle these future unavoidable obstacles with a greater sense in mind...but after allowing myself (sometimes it feels out of my control) to put on all this weight these past three years....that maybe I don't know what to do when I feel low. I've never been to a psychiatrist but there's many a time I do feel the need to see one. These bouts of depression come on out of nowhere and that's when I can give little to no care for my well being. Thankfully right now I'm doing better, though the last one lasted what felt like a good two years on and off.
This forum does help and I notice when I stay away I tend to get derailed easily and things just go back to mentally and physically sucking...
I guess, long story short (too late) what do you guys do that suffer from the blues? How do you keep from binging? How do you stay on track and focused when the last thing you want to do is take care of yourself?
