I was having a bad day yesterday and I always turn to food for comfort. I really fancied stodge, chocolate, cake - anything bad! I put something along those lines on another thread and I got tonnes of ideas back.
I decided to indulge my need for stodge but SW way - I cooked up a load of leeks and potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, mashed it all up with a full tub of Quark cheese added salt and pepper and ate the whole lot!! Huge plate full - I was so full after that the want for cake and chocolate went away!
Another great boost is walking a dog - yours, a neighbours, family member? Its a great way to get some exercise and not feel that you are just out walking for no apparent reason! I hated going for walks or doing any kind of exercise but then we got Bruce - now I love taking him out for walks and am doing 3 30 minutes sessions of exercise a day! Exercise really does help banish those blues! Take care Lx

**CHEESY POST ALERT**
I come here when I'm feeling a bit like that.
I catch up on my subscribed posts, maybe post a little more, check out the inspirational photo's (some of them make me cry!), read some food diaries, make a shopping list of bits I'd like to try, check out new syn values.
I honestly think this site is better than group!So glad I found it!!
So, true totally agree with you…if it wasn’t for this diet I reckon I wud have given up by now

A curious kitten!
I'm still smiling after the sex post!
I would suggest using your syns for comfort food. When I have a bad day at work I come home, put my feet up and have a cup of tea and a two fingered kit kat (about 5 syns). If it's been a really bad day I might have two! It feels really decadent but I'm still within my syn allowance. If that doesn't work then I'm off for a walk planning my next meal which usually contains a baked potato (very comforting and free with low fat cottage cheese!).
As a final thought (I sound like Jerry Springer!) banana's are good for you. They have a chemical in them that makes you feel happy, they make you feel full and finally they are free! Banana's rock - yeh!

It makes me laugh when 'experts' sat a newborn can hinder your private time, blinking teenagers is worse!
Ooh but parents can be rotten too! I love that scene in Gavin and Stacey where Pam says " your dads out for the count, in going to put my earplugs in so let yourselves go" I'd be sick!
