I've been struggling a bit with depression lately, especially over the month of October. Daylight savings seems to have helped some, and I'm also boosting my Vitamin D intake.
The depression, which I always have, has been spurred on by my current financial situation... which has affected my ability to afford foods that are better for me, thus ensuring I gain some weight back. And then of course there is the comfort-eating (entire pint of Haagen-Daz in one sitting, anyone?!) which doesn't help anything.
I'm in the process of making some major changes to my living situation, and although I am kind of embarrassed to say that at my age I am moving in with some friends, I know that it's for the best and I am actually looking forward to it. So are they, as they're having some $$$ issues of their own, and this new living situation is going to be better for everybody. Plus they are both quite overweight and I've told them I'm putting them on Weight Watchers and they won't even know it! lol
Lastly, my sister is coming to visit me from out West over Christmas. I really want her to be able to see that I've lost weight, since she is one of the people who encouraged me to start WW and taught me how to follow it. So at the very least, I want to be at 189lb (20lb gone) by the time she gets here on Dec 21st. That's about 5lb more to go, so it's doable I just have to stay focussed!!!!
