Have the baked potato.
I absolutely love chips, but the baked potato is slightly healthier than the chips.
Best thing about WW is you can still have the things you enjoy.
I ate cake and ice cream the entire way through my weight loss last summer and lost every week (bar one STS)

Help, despite my best efforts, black dog is in residence. I'm totally resentful of the world, my family, etc. I can't stop crying and am wondering why, at my age, I still don't cope with things like a grown up. Worst bit is that there's nothing particularly bad to be dealt with. Also looking at the things and conditions that other people have to work through here makes me feel even more inadequate.

Offload, all you want, we all do on our diaries!! I have been following your diary all along and personally I think that you have had an enormous amount to cope with, and you are still carrying a lot of unresolved heavy baggage from your past, which is very difficult to deal with. You are far too hard on yourself.
You also come across as a very professional, capable, accomplished, sassy business woman, so I am sure that you are not able to admit your true feelings to many in real life and you probably have to put on a front a lot of the time, which is extremely wearing.
I read a book that really helped me by Tim Cantopher, called "Stress Related Illness, Advice for people who give too much" and I found that really helped me, along with EFT therapy, from a friend, which released a lot of things that I was holding on to.
I think it is a very painful process working through our past, but it does get much easier. Also your depression may have nothing to do with your thinking, but be medically related to a whole host of things, even certain tablets that you are taking.
I would review everything, but keep telling myself that this is my time, and I am worth it xxxxxx."I wondered why the Frisbee was getting bigger, and then it hit me". £9/£250

Absolutely. On both counts. Well said RainbowBridgeReturns :T
I've no 'wand to wave' INOD, to make it all better. Although, frankly, if I had, i'd give that blackdog a sharp thwack between the ears a tell it to SHOO! But I know it ain't that simple
