Strange moods...

Options
So, I am 5 days into this diet. And for the past two days, I have noticed feeling AMAZING in the mornings but then, out of the blue, awfully down at night. Irritable, snappy, even a little sad or teary (tonight, anyway). I purchased Relacore because I had heard that it helped with the "diet anxiety" or stress. And I am honestly doing okay in the food department... not struggling as much as I thought I would. Things are quite happy in my life at the moment. So... why the weird moods?

Befuddled.

    maybe you are suffering from low blood sugar in the evenings?

    i know that sometimes i get in a really miserable mood in the afternoons if i haven't had enough complex carbs/protein, the slow burning stuff. maybe it will help if you take a look at what you eat throughout the day and how your mood goes with it.

    the info here might be useful:

    hope this helps!

    Ya I went through that about 2 months into a serious diet. Crying spells not sure how to fight them? Dieting is as much emotinal and it is physical. Dr. Phil has a great book out. Keep on Keeping on!

    Isn't it strange? My beloved comes home from work and says, "this makes no sense, Christie... you have been on cloud 9 all day long! You've been texting me the sweetest things and getting these inspired ideas... and then I come home, and... well... I kinda don't like you."

    lol...
