Feeling kind of depressed tonight. Wish I was more of an upbeat person and I sure as heck wish that med change my psychiatrist ordered would get here. Sometimes I get discouraged. We've changed medications a million times and I'm starting to believe maybe nothings going to work for long. Sorry to be such a downer. I've been really trying hard to do this food plan so well and I've succeeded for the most part but sometimes I feel all alone out here. I try to occupy myself with doing something positive every day and I usually succeed but today I'm just having a bad day. I stayed under 20 carbs again today but my calories were a bit too high. My ketone stick wasn't the darkest purple which is unusual for me. I didn't manage to exercise today. I need to remember I lost 3 lbs. this week which makes me happy. Anyway I thought about erasing this whole post and not posting anything today but I decided to tell the truth about how I am instesd. I could use some support. Anyone listening?

Your not alone. Don't forget we are all out here struggling too. I'm sorry you are having a rough time. Sounds like you are doing really well with the diet. Spring is around the corner and hopefully that will help everyone's attitudes. Try to keep your chin up.

I could have written this myself. You are not alone. May I ask what med you are on? I am on prozac for anxiety disorder. Some days it doesn't help (like today). Don't worry too much about the calories either. I find that my body id more willing to let go of the weight when I go a touch over 2000.
PM me if you ever need to talk. I'm off for tonight, but am on everyday. :)

I take several medications for depression, anxiety and PTSD. I take Geodon,Wellbutrin, Zonegran,Ambien CR for sleep, Xanax for panic attacks and Cymbalta which was actually working well for a few months. I'm supposed to start taking more Zonegran but it hasn't come in the mail yet.
Most days my depression is better with this diet. I think I got depressed because I was bullied and people like that depress me. I can't stand to see someone who enjoys inflicting pain.

What is a moment in your life that you can reflect on that gives you real piece and joy. Mine is where I am sitting in my Grandmother's little country church. Waves of comfort and peace just roll over me when I put myself back there in my mind.

Thanks - I'm sorry for being so down but I wanted to be my real self here even on the bad days. You have seen my posts so you know I work hard to give lots of support and encouragement to others. It was just a bad day. Tomorrow is bound to be better. And I do know none of us are alone here.

OK now this is just me talking so nobody jump on my case -
Don't ever let a diet make you disgusted with yourself. Nothing is worth that, definitely not dieting. There are lots of things that cause us to be overweight, some of those things we have no control over. You diet, you tweak it for the best results, you push it to see how far you can get away with cheating. The scale goes down, up, down.
Sometimes you just need that ice cream for the hell of it. Atkins is not about denial. It's about tolerance. You'll be able to have that ice cream soon. If you had it already so be it. Each and every day is new, you can't go back, so enjoy it. If you have to, if you want to, make adjustments, but keep moving forward.
Any weight loss no matter have trivial you think is a positive.
Smile please and remember your cyberbuddies love you!

Multiplicity, I am sorry that you had such a bummer day yesterday. My wish for you is that today will be as good as yesterday was bad. And remember, the path may be rocky, steep, and long, but the view from the top is breathtaking. You WILL get to the top, and once there, you will be amazed at what you have done, and your sense of pride and accomplishment will be like nothing you have ever felt. Not to mention how great you are going to look and feel physically. :-D Have a great low carb week, and keep climbing.
