The battle of the Bubble

Hi diary!
Feeling sorry for myself today. Keeping a log cos im trying to get my head straight. Its seems that my down days at the moment are 1-2 times a week. It also seems to be after a binge! So im not giving up but thinking its not the depression. More to do with nutrients, vitamins maybe.? As i say im keeping a log for docs cos i really want to get off the happy pills this year. Id rather take vitamins if i need to.

Yes, good idea! Have you spoken to your doc about how to come off slowly when you're ready?
Vitamin B complex is great for helping your body deal with stress - I used to take it, as well as regular Vitamin C.
Do vitamins have to be synned though? Have never thought about that. Hmmm...
I think you've been doing amazingly well, Bubble, with your eating, your exercise, everything. It totally makes sense that you'd feel slightly more down after a binge - but are your 'binges' really that bad?

Why can you fall into these traps so quickly but its such a journey to climb out??

That's interesting about ur log - ur doing everything so thoroughly Bubbles!

I find I'm lethargic and can feel down after eating sugary stuff and carbs - so it cd be the same for u?? I do think tho' that ur also v hard on urself - u've mentioned ur strict childhood - could it be a result of that I wonder - I pose the question - not to pry but because I had a difficult relationship with my late mother and it still affects me at times. I think lots of dieters find it so easy to fall off the wagon but struggle to get back on.

I try to focus on all the good things in my life it doesn't always work but it might be worth a try? Hope u feel brighter as the day goes on - mornings are often the worst for ppl with depressive tendencies they say.

They will be tonight!!
Yes doing it all with docs approval and b-complex may well be an option again (had them in the past) never thought of vit-cs or the syns.
I know i'm winning slowely. Thanx for your support. X

Thanx upndown. Ive had major councelling and yes it stems from my upbringing. My family will never see it that way. We've got a great relationship dont get me wrong but i have been the black sheep in their eyes for most of my life. Not saying i dont make them proud, i just werent 'the good little greek girl' they wanted. Long old story one day id love to write it all down but its took 5 years of seeing shrinksto sort me outish!
Things have got better now, i am very proud of my achievements, my family, and my life, one day my parents will admit it too. :rolleyes:

Hey hun,
I LOVE 2 weekly weigh in's! I think they either really suit people or really dont, so soon you'll know how you feel about it. For me I can sometimes get really frustrated and upset if I see a teeny loss after a week, so with the fortnightly wi's I always have a decent number waiting for me. It takes a massive amount of pressure off. I'm weighing in weekly this wee just so I can see how the soup challenge helps my losses and I feel a lot more stressy that I do with the fortnightly WI's.

You're doing amazing and the last thing you need is to pile pressure on yourself, I really hope fortnighly WI's will help. It does get kinda tempting though to sneak a peek after 10 days or so though, lol

Have a lovely Easter, I've taken antidepressants myself in the past (for panic attacks) and I know how crappy they can be, really hope you can come off them soon xxxx
 
Thanx cheese thief. I hope fortnightly works for me too.
Ive read somewhere youve started the c25k too. Ive only done it 2ce should have done my 3rd for this week yesterday but not feeling up to it. I guess we dont need to do it in 9 weeks as long as we complete the challenge.
Im going to look for your diary when on compute next as i cant see sigs on phone. If you dont mind be subbing that is. :)
Have a great easter too. X
