When you’ve got something like being unemployed or working a job you hate for very little money weighing you down it can be hard to smile. People tend to resort to short term fixes which harm them in the long run. Alcohol might seem like a way of easing your issues but tomorrow they’ll be worse, I promise. Many people overeat the very worst foods as they’re tasty and cheer them up for a moment or two. When the weight piles on however, when they find themselves unable to stop eating like this, the moderate sadness could well become depression.
I’m not suggesting you stop eating, a big meal is a great thing. You can eat some fantastic foods which are good for you too and things which are full of vitamins and minerals will help raise your mood for the long term. A balanced diet is key to a healthy life and though it might take a little longer to eat healthy now, it’ll take much longer for your too lose the weight in the future. Be smart, eat healthy.
