Honey, I think you already know this: not eating, while it seems as though you start to feel better, actually makes you feel worse. I know, it's not fair, and I hate it myself. Heck, I've had a nasty bad time of it lately myself, and want nothing more than to be able to lose the weight again.On the other hand, as I fill out my food journal, with the little mood notations on it, I can see that *not* eating actually makes me feel pretty crummy. There is an argument to be made that I'm not eating as much *because* I feel crummy, but I'm inclined to think that I'm feeling crummy because I'm not eating enough. At the very least, I am feeling crummIER because I'm not eating enough.
I really hate that you're feeling so low, and that you've had such an uproar in your life recently. Will you email me, so we can catch up?
Whatever else, Maxi, just know that some crazy middle-aged broad in California is thinking affectionately of you.
