Yes, actually, but I think it's for a very different reason.  I believe I have fructose malabsorption, and that can cause depression.  Eating perfectly healthy things like apples not only can give me severe abdominal pain and bloating, they can mess with my emotions, too. 

"As a result of absorption disorders in the small and large intestines, other substances such as amino acids are not absorbed. Because of missing substances (among others tryptophan), hormones and neurotransmitters cannot be synthesized."

food definitely affects my moods. All through high school I ate cafeteria crap and drank a litre of coke a day, it was terrible. Even though I was very active I still felt miserable. I was also diagnosed in that time with major depressive disorder. Since changing my eating I feel much better and despite still having a psychiatric diagnosis (no longer MDD) I have been off medication for a while and for the most part am coping very well. I do notice though if I go a week where I eat mostly junk carbs my mood gets progressively worse and worse to the point where my fiance and I consider hospitalization. It happens that fast too, by day 3 I cry at everything and by the end of the week I cannot leave the house. If I eat a balanced vegan menu everyday though I feel fabulous... and if not fabulous at least I can function normally.

Meat always made me feel sick as well, and I do not drink any sort of pop. I actually quit drinking pop 2 months ago, and I have had one since and it was like a bulldozer to the brain.

I dunno... the lady holding the triple patty burger up there looks like shes pretty happy. No doubt eating fresh food is healthy for you but the people who have poor eating habits probably developed that habit because they feel into depression.

@salvatruca_stalking_havok13@xanga - yeah, i was thinking that same thing

@cornyonacob@xanga - this made me think of austin powers in goldmember

I believe its a cycle. But I think this is pretty true. For example, I had a baby in Feb. I got on a great diet and work out routine and I was seeing results. I hit a plateua and then I was upset so I kept telling myself whatever I can indulge if I want to. So now Im pretty down and I have depressed days where I dont want to do anything. Im not crying and isolating myself so Im not the clinical term for depressed. I just cant find the motivation to work out anymore. I have big goals but the more I eat and 'indulge' in these fatty foods I find myself sinking lower and wanting to eat more bad food. Ever notice how if you eat a bad diet, you crave it more? When I was healthier, running, going to the gym and eating a balanced diet I never craved soda or chocolate and I could just walk away. I feel myself craving that emotional connection I have built through the few months with eating bad foods.

Any suggestions?

In the past motivations like goal lists or pictures of healthy fit me would easily motivate. What else can I do?
