Elizabeth,
I don't know if this will help you but lately I've just tried to look at my dealing with depression as a lifetime of recovery. Each thing I do or don't do contributes to or takes away from my recovery.
I try my best to see and acknowledge how my actions are going to make me feel. If I do a lot of things that I 'shouldn't', I know the depression is just going to get tougher.
Every little positive act, on my own behalf, will only help my disease. Act 'as if' you really don't want any sweets, don't eat any, then see how that makes you feel. The LAST THING we need to do is to make it tougher on ourselves.
Say," I love myself too much for that.." I deserve health and happiness.Phil
