Ohlove - I feel you 100% - Just crying out of no where, for nothing, or the littlest hiccup that normally wouldn't make me upset makes me cry. I hope you are feeling better ... I guess we just have to get through the moodiness and remember food isn't what completes us or make us happy inside.
Rosinante - I never really thought I ate based on emotions or to comfort myself but I realize now I totally did. Even now I think of going to a restaurant and think of indulging in something fatty and it makes me feel good, the idea of eating like that, but what does that bring but immediate gratification and long term sadness and disappointment. I just have to learn that I don't need cheese and fried food to make myself feel better - I should find joy in every meal that I eat that is low cal, that is free of grease - those healthy bites that are making a better me should fill me up with warm feelings.
It could be seasonal depression I suppose - I am not sure. I don't really feel depressed in the way I use to, those feelings were hopelessness, feeling horrible for no reason and having no idea why. This is just momentary sadness and sudden bursts of tears - not long term sorrow.
Emaline - I definitely need to start taking a vitamin, I think it might help with my overall feeling good and I know it's important for my body too. My diet might be a little strict but I HAVE to cut my calories, its the only way for me to ever get this weight loss going. If I don't count and monitor I will never lose weight, so I just have to stick with it and hope this moodiness goes away at the weight goes away!!!
Thanks again guys - the more I read from you, the more my feelings make sense and the more I feel better.
