In a funk

I started up AGAIN last week and did great - lost 5lbs! It felt wonderful & I even got my husband to join in with me. Only now I am stuck in this funk like no other. I started this to feel better on the inside and out and now I feel like it's only bringing me down. I am not a depressed person and I would hate to become one....has anyone else had this happen to them after starting a "diet"? :huh:

    Yes hun, I tend to get a little moody the first couple of weeks getting back on the healthy train. Apparently your body is adjusting to not getting a much carbs/sugars, so I've been told. Carbs produce happy signals to brain (sorry I don't all the technical reasons). So as your body adjust it will get better, promise! I just got back on the healthy train today as I took summer off. Good luck and add me as friend if you like, I need more support!

    It WILL make you feel better. Promise. It's just going to take a few days/weeks longer than you expect. You'll get there and it will be great. Double promise. (I do have to ask though, if we're both on MFP now does that mean that we can't do HH anytime too soon??? OR would we be great support system to each other while out since we're both on MFP??? :happy: )
