I have to say that one of I have noticed that when the chips are down I reach for that bag of Doritos. Yes I don't drown my sorrows in bury them in calories. There are those days when I am feeling so down, that I just want to lie in bed , and eat all day. I used to get that way on weekends. It has to do with the fact that at my age most of my friends are married by now. Which means weekends can get pretty lonely. I don't feel like strolling to the clubs all by myself, or take in a movie being the fat lonely guy with tubs of popcorn and ten dollar diet coke. When I am feeling this way , for some reason I dread working out. I think about lifting weights or taking a walk and I just get the urge to sleep, then eat. What a bad combination. I have started to counter act this formula for being the huge guy stuck in his house, who has to be removed by a crane and ten volunteers. I just make myself do it, I get up and get moving. Lately when I get the weekend blues, I force myself to stick to my routine. I get up and do my weight training, and you know what once I start exercising I feel great. You see exercise makes the body feel good , it starts to lift my spirits. Taking a walk along the harbor in the sunshine always makes me feel good.

Thanks for putting it into words. I think almost everyone gets like that. I know I do. But it's true... just tough it out and it'll be great.
