I'm hoping this weekend I can finally dig myself out of this funk. I've been battling it all week, well really for about a couple of weeks, and I'm not winning. This weekend I'm going to look up some healthy recipes and maybe some motivational images, sayings, something to get my attitude to change. I've eaten a lot of chocolate and other junk this week and had no exercise. My joints are starting to feel better today, but my brain is still telling me just to sit around and do nothing and eat junk. It's like my brain is messing with me. I'm really thinking this could be the shot and I do remember feeling this way when I was on it before. How can something so simple mess with me so much? If it is the shot, then I'll have to deal with this until November and it will be a struggle, but I just have to keep telling myself that I don't want to just sit around and do nothing, I do want to eat healthy, and this is not me.
So, here's hoping I find something this weekend that really helps me get myself back on track and has me back on the road to my normal, more positive self soon. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Mind over matter my friend. When I quit smoking everyone made a big to do about how much weight I would gain. That's when I decided to start losing. I quit smoking and lost 100lbs. They say the shot can lead to weight gain, they're talking 3-5lbs of water, but people believing it will lead to weight gain is the real issue. It's like a placebo effect, except bringing negative results instead of positive. I'm not saying it isn't affecting your mood, your motivation, your water weight fluctuations... any medication has an influence, just reminding you that you have control over all of that even when it gets tough. I've been in a funk too, as you know, so this weekend we will overcome that together. Have a wonderful day Mary!

I think it is the approaching cold weather and darkness that we all anticipate no matter where we live - I have been hanging in bed longer and that is not how I am typically.

Mars..You have hit the nail on the head. Right now I'm in the same situation as you. Mind over matter. I've been battling my funk for a long time. It's time to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and get back into a positive mind set. Thanks for putting it in words. Thanks for your comment Yolanda. You are inspiring.

Yo- You're right, I need to remember that I control this. I've been on the shot in the past and the first time I went into a severe depression, the second time I was like this, just in a funk for like 5 years, so I don't know why I didn't remember that this time and just not bother with it. All I can do now is try to take the control back, but my brain is just fogged over right now, so I have to work through that to see the light.

You're starting to talk me out of going with the depo shot at the end of the month when my implant expires lol. It's ninety days, if you did it for years I know you can get through it now. Focus on one small daily goal, maybe keep an emotional diary. I have all the faith in the world in you :)

Throw out the chocolate - it's addictive. If it's not around, it can't be eaten. Glad to hear your joints are improving.

years ago, i went on a 'chocolate fast' - the idea was to live ONLY on actual chocolate (not choc flavoured items like cakes etc, but actual chocolate bars) until I was so sick of it, i would never want to eat it again! I figured I would last a day, maybe two. I woke up on day FIVE & realised I could just 'keep going' ! It was the most addictive thing I ever gave up, including, tea, coffee, gluten, cigarettes & alcohol. (i was never that into alcohol tho). If you type 'chocolate, cheese, meat sugar addictive' into youtube, you will come across a great talk (about 3/4 hr) that helped me.
