Ennui

Ennui

Ennui is a state of listlessness, dissatisfaction, weariness or boredom associated with one’s life due to lack of activity or excitement.  I woke up in such a state this morning.  It is a slow month at work, which doesn’t help, and it is gray and rainy here today again.  My point in posting this is not to whine, but rather to point out that, for me, having a case of the blahs is a harbinger of a slide toward depression and unhealthy eating behavior unless I do something about it now.  Vigorous exercise seems to help and I have been focusing on that this week.  Going to support group meetings helps, too, so I plan to attend two of those over the next 5 days.  I also attended a WLS informational meeting this week to answer questions for those considering surgery.  It always feels good to give back. 

What are your early warning signs that tell you when to be extra vigilant about your eating behavior?  What do you do when you recognize one of those signs?
