Cure of the funk

I think I figured out where my mild depression may be stemming from.

After paying off my credit cards, I felt a sense of control over my life again, and a degree of freedom. With said control and freedom, I went on a bit of a shopping spree, buying new clothes, both for work and play. Of course I'd hoped that the sharp threads would make me look instantly hotter, and suddenly bring all the boys to the yard, or something of that nature.

Of course, that didn't happen. Beyond a few nice compliments, things remained status quo.

Add to this the failure of not completing Cocktail-free February, and regaining the weight that I may have lost, and it left me feeling a bit in the dumps.

The only solution I can think of is to change things up another way. I know that I need to lose weight, and that the best way to do so would be to curtail the alcohol intake. Since that's obviously not going to happen, I need to look at my everyday food choices. Scale back where I can, abandon chips for carrots and hummus, forego the breakfast bagel for some eggs and veggies. I need to make a second trip to Trader Joe's each week to explore new and different things, and trim down the fat and sugar.

I don't know if this is all a big bag of bullshit or what, but I'm inclined to move forward. I should scour the internet for food tips, and see if I can find a site that speaks to me.
