Why so long?

I have not blogged for awhile as you can tell. Main reason is that I have been battling my depression or rather it has been battling me and beating me to a pulp. I feel part of the reason is that I have not been able to use my drug of choice - food/carbs - to help decrease the depression. The reason is that I am eating very few carbs. Lots of raw veggies, protein and a few carbs in the form of fruit - some in "Carb Master" yogurt but none comes from bread, rice, beans, cereal, crackers, etc

After reading some of my previous blogs and having them sound so negative I didn't want to make this blog sound that way also.

Anti depressant medications have been changed and are kicking in. I am having an easier time without my carbs but still dream about eating them :-)

Without my carbs it is interesting to discover in an even more detailed manner, all the things that cause me to be drawn towards eating. The good old stand by causes are stress, fear, disappointment, anger, and so and and so forth. Avoidance of confrontation is also a big one. The longing for "something else" is another. "Something else" can be a monetary item, a job etc. Most often it happens when I do not spend enough time with the Lord.

I will have to look back at my previous blogs to see what chapter I was on and begin to blog again tomorrow.
