When I get depressed I want to eat

I find that some of the things that I love are not that good for me and I find tht the substitutions are more expensive. That sure does not help. I found that I hsve an intolerance to wheat and dairy, but not to gluten and that makes it hard.

I understaful. The doctor told me lately that I might have lactose intolerance. So I have to vuy a milk that is not as tasty and a lot more expensive than my usual one. Have you tried to make your own bread? My sister does it and it`s not so expensive as you eat it all and you can`t eat a great deal as it is more filling.

I see part of my answer got erased. I wrote: I understand, suspenseful. I wonder what key I pressed

Hiya stary, So sorry I missed your comment about "my technique" and I am still using it otherwise I might be as big as the side of a house. Clean my teeth a little early drink a little water or an infusion and goodbye to those hunger brought on by stress feelings. Today could be one of those days too but I am working on it right now clean my teeth and no snacks apart from the fact that they are way too expensive and do not taste as good anymore. A water pik is a great gadget to use as well although I don´t have one yet but I will work on that one. Have a great week stary.xxx

The trouble is that nice thing I would like to do, cost too much. I went out and bought some clothes and now I want to get an 3d TV and that would be nice, but still have to save for it. I usually get a songbook or book on how to improve my singing eery two months, but now because of the postal strike we had, one delivery was left at customs for almost a month and it came late, so the discount coupon has to be used next month. That made me depressed because I did not want to get one until two months time. And for my singing lessons, I do need the books. The water does help though, but then I have to run to the bathroom. So even doing those things wind up making me depressed

Water does not do it for me because if I am depressed it is usually for a reason. It is not just in my head. Something went on and actually even the chocolate bar would not do. I do find that a walk would help, but even then the problem still remains and cannot be solved at least not ion this life time. It is one of those nothing can compensate for it.

I would like a cheesecake right now, but really deep inside I know that food will not cure it, but what will cure it besides going to heaven is now impossible. I can think of way to cure it, like losing my memory, getting altezeimers, but those ways are more horrible then the depression itself. It is terrible how what you did when you were younger has effects that carry on.

Or engage in some pleasant activity. Depression and anxiety are natural human emotions that simply reflect the events in one's life. And Chrislotz, when you feel like eating and eating and eating, just remember to eat fruits, nuts, veges and/or whole grains, and you will be alright. You can make sure you are always within this boundary by storing these healthy foods at home.

I buy a lot of almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc. and the only reason I have not bought macadamia nuts that much is because of the cost. The trouble is that I love them so much that I had to put them down in the freezer so I wold not snack on them all day. Oh that pleasant activity may not work. It would work if the worry was about something imaginary but if the depression had a cause like a life experience or being a bad girl, etc. in the time when bad girls were punished more then they warrented -i.e. God's disapproval was not much for them - then going good things or engaging in pleasant experiences would not do much. The remembrance is still there. So I am still a little sad.

I got as bar in the fridge, and trying not to eat it all, because well I am depressed. I am thinking of going for a walk, but a friend of mine from out of town said that she might drop in today. The reason I ask depressed is because I decided to buy some dvds after almost six months to a year, and as soon as I got them, my younger said that he was off for a day and we could pick up the projection lamp for the tv instead of my waiting until Dec. when I would have the whole amount to pay for it, and then the furnace started to leak, and after that the connection to the toilet broke. Now I heard that an order I thought had been cancelled now went through, son now instead of just one parcel, I will get two and do not know when they will arrive or whether the second order is for something else. I do not want to touch the basement money . So those chocolates look very tempting.

Hiya suspenseful, Oh dear sounds like you have not had a good Day at all have you? Those Packets have a way of turning up when you least expect them as well know the feeling one of those packets is coming here tomorrow just when we had given up on it. Quite honestly I feel like sending it back but I can´t so I will just pay them with a big grin on my face I suppose to hide the fact that I dislike paying for something that I have waited so long for. On top of that it had better work the last time it did not work like they said it would so lets see what their excuse is this time around. Apart from that its been People that have caused problems for us today as well nothing that cannot be ironed out with time I suppose. I get the blues as well you know but I think that I can be positive too so that helps pull me out of it somewhat as well. Its not easy to smile when you don´t feel like it. Hope you get everything fixed as well we have a Toilet on the Blink as well fingers crossed I don´t have to repair that as well before I leave here just touching wood now although I don´t believe in those things either. Hope your Day goes better now I am relaxing here a bit so I don´t take my problems to sleep in my Head. Going for a walk with your Friend will also help you a lot I think and distract yourself as much as you can when you get back to the House I know that feeling too. xxx

Television and cleaning my teeth early however do keep me out of the Cupboard lol as I am too lazy to clean my teeth again after. xxx lovinangelsinstead21 that is a good technique. I floss, brush and use a water pick...If tempted sometime I remind myself of the drill they use in teeth cleaning..

I do not want to go back to being pre diabetic or sort of diabetic. . I have been trying to find recipes that are healthy and yet suitable for one person, in that I can make extra and freeze them. I did cleanse my system and now I find that when I feel the sweetness more in things so I try to avoid them. And have been trying for the natural things. Then I take my measurement around my waist and no matter what I do, it is not going down past 39 inches and that makes me more depressed, but then I try for a walk.

The only things that can help me is if I am on a computer or playing the piano or singing, I do not want food around as the crumbs might ruin the keyboard, piano, or my voice. I go for a walk, but then wind up buying a licorace bar and eating it on the way home. And the only thing that stops me then is if I see someone walking up from the other side or cars nearby because I remember the photo of me as a little girl on a pony and they happened to take the shoot while I was eating a lollipop and when I was at a reception or a shower, that was the most of the time when they took my photo even though there were plenty of other times. But when I had my bad knee and could not get around, I could hardly do anything, so there was the fridge and the food. And I do not want to go for a walk all day when I have to clean the house and I do have to clean the kitchen where the temptation is.

I love those Dove bars they are so good. I have not made bread for a while. REally have to get a new bread machine. But with me even if I made bread, I would still eat and especially if it tasted good. I get this really good 100 percent whole brain bread with sesame seeds, caraway seeds, all types of flours, ancient grains, and yet although to others it is not that good tasting, but to me it is. And I love it with peanut butter and or honey. That is supposed to fill one up, but no, not me.

I love all those things. I make my own pasta, and add whatever sauce and meat to it,. And make my own salad. Do not have ice cream that much. I find that the small ones are kind of expensive and do not like eating it on the way home or having it in the freezer so I can have it all the time. I do buy chocolate bars, but it is usually the dark chocolate, bu once ina while I feel like I need to eat a white chocolate bar or one of those filled bars like the O'Henry or the :Peanut Butter cup. And that is what I should avoid,

I used to not eat, but that was when I was way overweight, so did not feel the hunger. Now I do. I do find when I go for a walk, I do not want to eat because I still have not got over that photo when I was a little girl having a sucker on a pony. I do think those hunger pangs are not really hunger but pangs for something else.

It is because what happened in my life. Sometimes I think food is the substitute for the baby my husband and I never had - somethiing has to go into my stomach and the trouble is that when I feel the emptiness in side that is when I should not eat. I found that when I feel that pang, and satisfy it, that is when I gained weight even if it is less then a pound. The only thing that helps besides doing something else, is thinking of the budget. I wish that my hunger symptom wold work and that the depression would not stop it.
