Two cookies for breakfast and 3 pieces of pizza for lunch. Already at calorie goal for the day and still have family dinner 😳. Due to stress and anxiety my ‘diet’ has gone a bit overboard. I’m down about 7k cals for the month so far and my goal was 3-5k by anniversary and hopefully that much total down for the month. I honestly haven’t felt like eating and I don’t get hungry until late evening. I have been forcing soup some days for lunch and I still have my midnight snack. That’s when I’m hungry and I can’t sleep when hungry. Perhaps I need to sleep all day! (Instead of until mid morning lol) I’m off of the snickers. Just hasn’t sounded good. Cravings are for cheese and Hershey’s with almonds or plain. I’m thinking there’s something in those that my body is lacking.
I love compleats low calorie meals but even those aren’t appetizing at the moment. This happens when I’m depressed but I don’t feel overly sad or worthless. I’m just anxious 24/7. Anxiety causes stomach upset for me when I eat more than soup, a candy bar or like half a small burger. The tummy was upset by the time I finished half a can of soup last week and before I finished my compleats beef and mashed potatoes meal last night. 🤷♀️ I’m grateful I’m a way because it’s helped with the diet but I feel like nutrition is certainly suffering. Will see if the counselor on Monday says I’m depressed but this just feels like it’s normal. As far as the ‘wait and see until you have all the information’ feeling. It seems normal. It’s what everyone has always told me to do and now that I’m able to people are asking why I’m not taking my antidepressant. Dude! This was always the goal! To maintain even emotions without meds. Now if I could find an anxiety pill that worked until I can learn to calm that down. Beer. Beer helps the anxiety lol. But it has calories ugh. And it’s not like I can down one before a game lol.
(And how is it that Walmart cookies are 90 cals yet my homemade ones are 105ish and I used Splenda rather than sugar?!? Mine are the smaller diameter but a bit thicker and I used mini chips thinking less calories for the chocolate. Cheaper and easier to buy from the store but then my house doesn’t smell good and I don’t get to bake 😭)

Eat a big salad everyday, maybe you're lacking some nutrition.

Thanks guys! Haven’t been eating much due to a cold/allergies and stress/anxiety. A big salad wouldn’t work most days but they sure would on the good days! My salad mix is almost gone so I will put it on the list :). Being lactose intolerant I think I’m lacking calcium, well I know it, and therefore the cheese cravings. My preferred salad is a spring mix with iceberg lettuce mixed in and covered with tons of cheese! Ranch or light Italian dressing or no dressing at all. Depends on the day and my mood and what we have on hand :).

Just read your post.
Sending great vibes your way! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I agree with the person who says that your body is lacking some nutrient and to keep up with 🥗 Salads. Plus eating what you crave; with the specific intent to give your body that missing nutrient.
Also vitamin D3 is important.
A lot of people don’t know that you can take 10,000 iu (international units) and it cures a lot of ailments ; especially during winters which lacks ☀️ Sunshine.
D3 Helps depression & much more. I feel so much better when I take D3. I take 2000 iu twice a day ( when I feel weak, feel that I lack nutrient, or feel depressed ).
Hope it helps Peeperjj…☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Thank you! I do feel better when taking Vitamin D. Only the prescription strength though. I get them 1-2 times a year and my drs won’t prescribe more. It’s a once a week pill, zero calories and when I get them I feel way better by week 8. I get 12 weeks usually. By week 15-16 I feel crappy again. I’m the summer I’m outside a LOT. Basically from mid March to Mid May I’m outside all day at track meets at least once a week and sometimes 3x a week. Then yard work, gardening, playing with kids etc through August. It doesn’t seem to help the depression but being 5 years out from chemo, 6 years out from my last parent passing etc helps more I think. Just time. I ‘talk’ to them about games and activities like I would on the phone when they couldn’t make things and that helps as well. Instead of being depressed that they aren’t with us I can tell them about it afterwards sort of thing. Probably not the healthiest option but it’s working to keep me happier :). Had a salad at dinner tonight and I’ve been eating cheese a lot so the cravings are less. Still craving sweets but that’s a constant off and on thing for me. I suck on tic tacs a lot and that works most of the time. Thanks again!
