31 days to learn to manage my life – DAY 8
If I’m gonna talk about depression and mood and trying to be a happier person, I have to pursue how what I’m eating is making me feel. Â Could my diet contribute to my sadness, my tiredness, my inability to see past this minute? Â I think so. Â I certainly don’t think changing the food I eat will fix it all but it couldn’t help.
A few weeks ago I went a few days of trying to only eat food that would promote energy and not eat things that would decrease it.  I read an article or two on food that would give you energy and tried to eat those items.  Its a pretty simple concept, really.  I was eating grapes, berries, almonds, lots of water and eliminating  wheat and most dairy.
By the end of the first day I felt different and more energized but its hard to do. Â It takes planning and not stopping at fast food for lunch or grabbing donuts at the gas station in the morning. Â Eating well doesn’t really fit into my life. Â But maybe it should.
I’m going to look into it again and make a better effort. Â I’m a firm believer that what you put into your body affects your mood, but I’m honestly too lazy to fix it.
