I generally handle sticking to my plan fairly well when I feel good, but when I'm tired, or feeling depressed, I just tend to go "fk it" and eat. And drink. I don't think its stress so much as just feeling down and flat. I'm not talking diagnosed depression, just those times you get really flat and...sad.
Take the last few weeks, I was really on track. I downloaded libra app and while I wasn't quite on track with my goal, I was trending the right way, then I have 3 bad days in a row and manage to gain back all the weight I'd lost in the 2 1/2 weeks leading up to that. I know thats a short timeframe, but it's pretty much a pattern. My attempts to lose weight tend to look like a heart beat monitor with a gentle down line then a sharp up-line back to where I started.
I know what I need to do to lose weight, but when I get into that headspace it's like a voice says "screw it" and there's no argument against it.
I assume I'm not alone, so wondering if others have come up with strategies or mechanisms to help when you're just having a bad few days.
