I know how you feel. I have been feeling the same thing lately. I have been restricting a lot more lately. I hadn't even noticed I was really doing it again until someone commented that I had lost more weight since I have been sick. I sat down to try to figure out why I feel this way and realized that I felt like such a failure in other areas of my life that this was something I was good at and could control. So I have been really frustrated with myself in life in general and hate feeling like the "Debbie Downer" of my group of friends. I know it sucks and I'm going to tell you what I have been telling myself...life goes through ups and downs and just because you stumble doesn't mean that we have failed. Also, friends are there to help you when you hit life's bumps and listen when you go through periods of complaining. I don't mind your venting...if I can somehow help you, that would make me feel better. So we are all being helped...you get things off your chest and we get to help you figure out what to do or just listen when there is nothing that can be done. So smile and keep the venting coming...better to let it out than keep it in. ;-)
