The pounds are slowly creeping on and you can't seem to lose them. You just want to crawl into bed and feel sorry for yourself. We're not saying you should go underground for the whole winter but allowing yourself to feel blue can actually be good for you in small doses. First of all, sometimes your body is just telling you that you need to slow down, take stock and figure out where you want to be in the spring. You're as much a part of nature as other living and growing things.
Nature follows a pattern, people seem to be the only ones who try and fight it.
Fighting the blues can sometimes take more energy than just allowing yourself to have a bad day. Don't fight yourself, don't berate yourself for feeling sad or low, it happens. Moods are like the weather. Some days are sunny and warm and some are gloomy and rainy. You can't fight the elements, don't waste energy fighting yourself.
