just read your blog and i thought i'd post you a little reply just to let you know you are not alone feeling the way you do... i think its your body rebelling a little, try not to worry too much as its just a glinch, you are doing great! i know just what you mean about wanting to eat sugary/sweet things lol,i am the same the day after a fast
i love chocolate and i could never give that up, i eat some on feed days, so i never really feel deprived and the weight is still coming off... to be honest there are days when i curse myself for eating too much of it and i become convinced the scales will be very angry at me but so far so good lol!! it just goes to show, a little of what you fancy does you good hehe..i so love my carbs too grrrrrrrrr so i try to keep it to a minimum, but its so so hard in this weather, isnt it?
anyway sorry i didnt mean to go on,and i believe that SAD is very real and like you i have been quite low lately, i drive to work in the dark and come back in the dark and i hate it.. i commute to London three times a week as i couldnt hack it anymore full time...
Hope you feel more cheerful today, and hang in there, like you i want to shift the last 5k, we can do it and we WILL get there soon
have a good day!
take care xx
Feeling a bit low..

Hubby hasn't been well and maybe that's getting to me a bit too, trying to stay positive and chivvy him up when he's a bit down.
We have both come so far with the diet (WOL) and I feel like a crusader for it at times. Today though I could stuff myself with everything I know will cause me a great deal of harm.....sugary stuff! Cake, bread, doughnuts.....get away from me you evil things!! Carbohydrate craving like mad....it's an addiction I tell myself. It's a good job that I don't have anything of that nature in the house.
I have also become obsessive about reading up on the evils of sugar, refined carbs and the like....and I SO wish that Dr. Mosley had written more about the scientific stuff in his book,can't get enough of that either.
Time to cheer myself up.....look in mirror, hmmmmm much, much thinner and only about 5k to go......perhaps I am suffering from winter SAD?
