Danger Zone

I haven’t checked the scale all week. I haven’t tracked that well, either. I’m afraid of the direction I’m headed.

I’m not sure if I might be backsliding into depression? That would make it difficult to follow the program.

When I don’t work enough, but am by myself a lot, I tend to think too much, which makes me sad. I’m only working part time, and spend a fair amount of time on my own. I keep busy, but the thoughts still come. I crave comfort or junk food that I then don’t track, and invariably I start gaining again.

I eat less when I work. There’s not as much time.

I can’t get depressed again, it’s not an option. I have to do things that will keep my spirits up: exercise, read, listen to happy music.

I can beat this.
