I don't have issues with depression, but I'm feeling "bored". I'm one that can always find something fun and exciting to do, just sewing or knitting make me excited. Right now I feel like something is missing. There probably is...a walk in the sunshine. Cold and snow do nothing to make me feel better.

If they're in your house for your husband, you might ask him to "hide" them from you for a while. I had a hard time with crackers and chips. My husband keeps them in his home office now. I could go look for them but I won't. It seems it's just enough distance away. They were so easy to grab when they were in the kitchen. It was a little embarrassing to ask my husband to do that but he supports my efforts and has been super good about it.

I've always wondered why dr's have things like onion and garlic on their list, because they are alkalizing foods. I mean, overall the foods we McDougallers avoid are acid causing, while our beloved starches and veggies are alkalizing for the system. I guess raw onion might stimulate production of stomach acid. Hmmm. Peppermint, same. I use it to eliminate heartburn, and it works for me every time.
Hopefully you'll be able to do it without medicating!
