Can't do it!

I don't know what's wrong with me. Well, I'm in my fifties, pre menopause, depressed, and work second shift, etc. These are some of my excuses!!! I start out doing great staying within my calories of 1400. I get home around 11p and I crave carbs and anything sweet. I have tried to trick my body by eating fruit, protein or save 200 calories for snacks. I can't go to sleep unless I have enormous amount of carbs or sweets. I have my brain thinking food is my sleeping pill. I have tried all the suggestions and tips on this site the doctor gave me a diet pill and I still ate late at night. So you may wonder why my profile and diary is private. I am ashamed of myself and don't want to pretend anymore that I can do this when I really can't. Some of my depression comes from my daughter who will be thirty next month, she has a mental illness, had 3 kids by the time she was 18, and causes me a lot of heartache. I'm taking care of my mother who still lives on her own. Here I go with the excuses again..... I'm sorry to sound pathetic. I get many compliments at work and from family members that I do a great job with my clients, and as a team leader. I take care of other people but not myself? I don't have the willpower or motivation to be good to myself? I'm hoping this group can help me to get rid of the excuses. I won't be offended if you tell me I need to get counseling. Thanks.

This group isn't what it used to be. We had a small core of people that pushed and supported each other but it slowly faded.
Excuses are the easy...if doing the work was easy then none of us would be here.
Maybe counseling isn't a bad idea. retrain your brain...it takes time and you will slip and that's ok!
working 2nd shift should allow you to work out in the morning.0
