> Uh oh. This sounds like something that I could definitely fall victim too. When you liken it to those PMS cravings-- those are the ones I end up indulging pretty much no matter what. I'm not sure I have so much self control that I could talk or exercise myself through them, if they are that constant. Zee, do you find the Parnate works well for you, just not as good as the Nardil? I actually tried *one* Parnate, at my doctor's urging some months ago (he was really trying to get me on MAOI'S for TRD). He wanted me to try Parnate first because there are fewer side effects. Of course I realize one pill is no trial, but it just made me feel really strange with kind of a distending feeling headache, and I was so paranoid about the diet then (not as much now) that I decided to wait and try Lexapro. Our hope was that with this new *side effect free ssri* I would finally be able to get up to a therapeutic dose. When that trial failed and I read the endorsements for Nardil on this site, I decided to give Nardil a fair trial. (I hope I can get that far). My doc also says some other new things are on the horizon-- Cymbalta for one, as possibilities in the future. At least *he* never gives up trying!
Hi,
I can understand it might be hard to do, but some day's is very easy for me not to hog the carbs.. Today for example I will eat under 2000 calories.. It's just some day's I will hog down on chocolate or other sweets and I kind of blame myself for buying so much of it. If I didn't buy so much it wouldn't be on the counter staring me in the face LOL.
One thing I found that worked for me is I am a big fan of the Zone Protein Chocolate bars, mint or peanut butter flavor, so instead of putting them all in the cubbard I will freeze them, so I have to thaw them before eating, usually that gives me time to say "Nick you shouldn't hog them all down, you know better.. you will feel bad after you do." So I usually only end up eating 1-2 a day :)
Just stupid little tricks help me from overeating..
good luck
nick
