I'M TURNING INTO EEYORE!!!!!!!

Awwww....that sucks. I'm sorry you are feeling down. I just posted on another thread that I get down sometimes too. A healthy eating and exercise plan is hard work to track and maintain!!

I can only suggest something new, which is what works for me. New athletic shoes, new running pants, new light up thingee so I don't get nailed by a car after dark, maybe some new tunes...

You've lost 41 lbs, so clearly you know what's up! Maybe a list on the fridge of suggested activities for that day (Mon: walk, Tue: DVD, Wed: swim, etc etc). Not saying you have to do it every day, but maybe you'll look up at the fridge and think, maybe this will perk me up.

Good luck!

Whats wrong with Eeyore??

I remembered reading somewhere that if a diet is to low in fat, depression can happen. I googled it and lots popped up. Here is a recent article:

Dieting makes people feel depressed because cutting out fatty foods alters their brain, according to a new study.
Watching other people tuck into calorie-laden food while dieters munch on 'rabbit food' is enough to make anyone feel blue.
However, scientists say ditching a high-fat diet triggers actual chemical changes in the brain that could make people enter a vicious cycle of poor eating.
And as fatty and sugary foods cause chemical changes before obesity even occurs, the University of Montreal researchers liken going on a diet to drug withdrawal.
Dr Stephanie Fulton said: "By working with mice, whose brains are in many ways comparable to our own, we discovered that the neurochemistry of the animals who had been fed a high fat, sugary diet were different from those who had been fed a healthy diet.
