So...as I've said on here before, after I had my TBI I spent many years feeling depressed and down due to my injury. My reaction was to eat huge amounts of sugary and fatty and tasty food. Which of course made me put on a lot of weight, which made me feel even worse.
A year and a half ago I had a gastric sleeve operation. This had an immediate effect. I ate a lot less food and a lot healthier food. Since then I have lost a lot of the weight I put on.
But I'd been eating for a reason. To temporarily make me feel a little better about my situation. To get some comfort. To lift my mood a little. With me eating a lot less now, that brought my depressed feelings out on display again. I felt them acutely now, without the crutch of comfort that I'd been using for many years......so what was I going to find that could quell these feelings that hurt so much?
