We all encounter mild bouts of the blues sometimes regardless of whether we low carb or not and sugar seems to be a quick fix, but it's like putting a bandaid on a corpse. All of my quick sugar fixes only served to make me fat. Being fat makes me very depressed and I'm not just talking about a bad day. When I was fatter I did all I could to avoid all social situations and I even did my grocery shopping at 3 AM to avoid seeing anyone I knew (actually I was avoiding being seen). I felt like the situation was hopeless and went to bed most nights wishing I wouldn't wake up in the morning. Since losing some of the weight, the depression has lifted, but I still do have mild bouts of the blues from time to time. It finally got to the point that it was just too painful to continue to be as fat as I was. In the long run, a quick sugar fix only contributes to a much deeper depression for me.
