I just want to smack him. I feel like I work so hard and he barely does anything and manages to look okay (although, I have to admit, I do look better naked if I may say so myself). My coping strategy is usually thinking about how much more energy I have when I eat right and work out and how good I'm being to my body. To be honest, I do have a LOT more energy than he does.
My other coping strategy when I get in a pissy mood is to go shopping. Shopping cures everything :) I don't even buy stuff and it's still fun."

Limiting calories doesn't usually make me moody, and exercise always makes me feel good! Part of it might be what kinds of food you're eating?
I know gloomy november weather [I]does[/I] make me moody. Maybe getting out around people, or joining a club or a sport at the YMCA might help? Keeping busy is a good way to forget about what you would rather be eating, and music or television while you workout is a good way to forget about what you'd rather be doing! Definitely, if you can make exercise into a group activity (walking with a friend maybe?) it seems like less of a chore. My good friend Mary Ann has been my workout buddy for the last month or so at the gym, and if anything, we both workout harder because we're very competitive!
I hope it gets easier for you. Hang in there! :)"

My husband does the same thing yours does, Spectra, but he has put on pounds and is always catching colds.Seeing that is a motivator for me.
I am also the worlds biggest shoppaholic! Even if I can not go shopping, I shop on line! It is a girl's best therapy. I am in total agreement! Unless, of course, one is going through a period of regained weight. Then that can be depressing."

Just wondering if anyone gets moody when they are on a calorie controlled plan and exercising? :(
If so, how do you all cope?
Many thanks - have a great day!
