I wish

I wish food wasn’t something I used to fill a void. I wish I could quit turning to sugar for that instant happiness. I have been very sluggish due to my poor diet lately but food is comfort. I know what toll it is taking on my health yet I continue the cycle. I can eat well for one or two days but turn right back to it. I am hoping by putting it in writing I can start to see what it is doing to me and I can change these habits. Any one in the same boat? How did you stop?

I was like it last week because I was at home the whole time. Now I'm back to work I'm eating more healthy. I think structure can help.

Oh my goodness you are certainly not alone! Winter is always difficult for people with depression! Carb loading is very common. I’m always after bread and sugar even though it doesn’t help and makes me fat! I get laid off for a couple of months in winter and that makes it worse and Covid restrictions don’t help! I just try to get out each day for a while weather permitting and keep busy as much as possible. I try to limit my sugar fix to one small dish of ice cream a day and make open face sandwiches to cut out one piece of bread. I eat a lot of soup too. I know it will get better in the spring so I just try to make it till then. I usually lose about 20 lbs when I get back to work. Hope this helps a little!

It's a really difficult thing to get out of that loop. If you can try to stop eating suger for a week. After that you won't get the cravings for it and it will be much much easier.

It's super hard in the US I think as so much food has corn syrup in it. It's literally why there are so many obease people in the states.
