This past week, to be honest has been rough. I had dipped back down into the depths of depression again with Wednesday being the worst day in a long time. The healthy eating must of gone on spring break. Some things came up in therapy which I have just been at a loss and upset over. I was doing fairly good over the past 3 weeks in taking better care and now it's like a tornado has blown in and twisted things into a mangled mess.
Yesterday I had a sore throat. Today, it's still here and I don't feel so hot. If you were to ask a doctor he might say I didn't have a fever by my normal body temp runs about 1 to 1.5 degrees below the 98.6. I think I may have a slight fever because it was 98.5, which is above my norm and I felt like my skin was tepid. I went to the store to pick up some soup and "Self" magazine. (I didn't receive my March issue).
Leaving the store, I decided to take a step back and not worry about tomorrow or next week, but to get through the next few hours without bingeing and so on.
I don't know if I will make it the gym today. I may try this afternoon, it just depends. I will probably go lay down in a bit since I took some medicine and I feel kind of drowsy.

I'm not feeling much better, but I think I am coming down with the flu or a cold possibly. I feel yucky. I got really sick last night. I always get confused when I should go to the doctor. I checked webmd for the symptoms and it looks like I need to go in.
I didn't make it the gym yesterday, nor did I do much else. Bed rest is on order. Hopefully when I eat breakfast this morning it will stay down. On the other hand I just don't feel like eating.
Thanks for the prayers and support.

I'm so sorry to hear that you aren't well : ( When in doubt, at least call in your doctor and review your symptoms with the nurse. That's what they are there for.
Take good care of yourself and I hope you'll be feeling better very soon.
Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
Sorry to hear you aren't doing well physically and mentally. I know a little about depression. God never said we wouldn't go through rough times only that He would be with us to help us through them. So I am praying for your quick healing and recovery and that you feel His peace and strength to get through the depression. We are all here to support and uplift you.

I was reminded reading your post about something I posted here a while ago. I read it somewhere years ago and am not sure of the source.
Generally, this book said that we make our food choices (and all choices) in the present only. When we make a good choice now/today/ this hour, we can build upon that.
I spent lots of time planning to do better with food and other things. It didn't work so well. When I kept things really local and present, I had more success.
Your psot about getting by hour by hour brought up this thought. Hope you are feeling better soon.
