I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s for comfort or just a general bear-like impulse to bulk up the winter stores before hibernation, thanks to the descending darkness and general gloom of the season. It&#8217;s hard to get out of bed in the mornings. It&#8217;s hard not to go back to it when the sun never shows it&#8217;s face and it rains for 3 days straight. It&#8217;s relatively warm or all this rain would be snow. Anyway, I can&#8217;t seem to stop. I hate when I get like this; it feels like it takes a gargantuan effort to smack myself, yell &#8220;Snap out of it!&#8221; and find my motivation again.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, I just can&#8217;t have snacks in the house. Nothing salty, nothing sweet. When I&#8217;m in one of these phases, nothing is safe. It doesn&#8217;t help to think, &#8220;Okay, I&#8217;ll just eat this, then it will be all gone, and I&#8217;ll be okay&#8221; because there is always something else I can find. Nothing seems to satisfy the craving for long, and I end up feeling bloated and aggravated at myself and my stupid self-sabotage. Why can&#8217;t I just nibble on some kohlrabi when I&#8217;m in this mood? Why does it have to be bread and fat and salt and sugar answer the call? ARGH.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still going to WW, though I&#8217;m dreading it this week. I know I can reverse this trend\u2014AGAIN\u2014if I want to. But apparently I don&#8217;t want to, because I keep doing this! I don&#8217;t want any advice about any of it, either. I&#8217;m just venting at myself. Everything that can be said, has been said. I know. I know, I know, I know. <\/p>\n<p>*sigh*<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting off the computer and going to power-walk on my treadmill until my feet are bloody stumps.
