: So I have noticed that I have been
: spending a lot of time on my home
: computer and letting other things
: slide. Like my house and my
: program. Which has me feeling sort
: of depressed and the bad things is
: I don't normally get depressed at
: least I don't think I do. So
: yesterday I made a pact with
: myself to not use my home computer
: for one week. I can use the one at
: work since I have no choice I am
: on it all day every day. After one
: week we will see how it goes. But
: I decided to go to work yesterday
: (Sunday). I don't normally work on
: the weekends but my coworker quit
: and now I am doing three different
: roles at work so trying to find
: time during the week is crazy (but
: at least I am hourly so I get the
: over time). Once I got home
: yesterday I started doing stuff
: around the house instead of
: sitting on the computer and you
: know what I felt soooo much
: better. It was amazing. So I
: really look forward to this week
: of no home computer. Put my focus
: on something else like myself, my
: program, exercise, my house. I
: will even join my BF on the dogs
: nightly walk. Normally as he is
: walking them I am home sitting at
: the computer making up some excuse
: as why I can not go. He takes them
: every single night (unless it is
: under 15 degrees F or pouring
: rain). They are lucky to have him.

Hi Kari

I made myself give up TV for a month cause I got into the habit of watchin soaps in the evening instead of reading/playing with my boys. I started to get depressed and felt like a really bad mum! Happy to report my TV ban worked. I no longer watch dribble, and enjoy more time with my boys.

I wonder is becoming easily addicted to other things part of sugar sensitivity, or are we more sensitive to the effects of stress causing us to seek comfort in doing familiar things more often?

Good Luck hope you enjoy your week!
