Day 32 - Funk

Yesterday’s blog was not an upbeat one in case you didn’t notice. I should explain. I went down for a nap yesterday afternoon and when I woke up, I was in a funk. My mood had dropped while I slept. For someone who has dealt with severe depression (and for weeks at a time), waking up in a funk is always a scary feeling. Is this the beginning of a multi-week episode or is it just a day or two of being down?

The funk and trying to lose weight do not co-exist easily. I look at my numbers and am hating myself because I’m back under five pounds. Ten pounds feels impossible now. Despite walking today, I feel like a failure. Breakfast was a protein bar and a mocha latte but lunch was a beef and cheddar. I feel like dinner but don’t know if I deserve it. Eating is such an emotional activity sometimes.

Dana :/
