Depression + Eating Food = Losing Diet Bet

I had recently signed up for diet bet(ter) and wagered money on my ability to lose weight. The stakes?

8lbs in 4wks

I have 12 days left and 8 pounds to go. I guess I should be thankful that I did not gain more weight. 12 days is not a lot of time, BUT I am hopeful. I am thinking most of my weight is either water or soda. Which should be reduced soon hopefully.

I am a bored and depressed eater. I use to run when I was depressed but to a shin splint I can't. I am looking forward to getting back into a gym (soonish) and using low impact machines. Maybe even buy better walking/running shoes.

I feel depressed about my eating habits, my life, my lack of direction, and at time (most of the times I get so overwhelmed  with the future and what to do.

One day at a time.
