I've been wallowing for a while now and have only just brought my motivation levels back, I've resumed taking my antidepressant, have seen friends in person and even managed to have the first date night in over 6 months! Pokemon go has made me walk 35km and I feel I have lost weight, the scales say 10lbs but I'm not sure on that. I've ended my sugar binge and an working on eating healthy again.
Congratulations on working on the depression. Depression sucks. I'm just coming out of a big hole, too. The things that have really helped me this time have been 7-minute scientific workout videos, habitica (app that gamifies daily chores) and thick black Milanese espresso...
I lost my Ghostbusters review I wrote, I have instead decided to write several 6 word 6 line reviews in #minireview.Cedar instead.
Yeah! You've been doing great, it seems. I'm glad for you, man! Wonderful. This one game is a gift to many, in unexpected ways. :) How did you go about that? I've been fairly addicted to sweet things for as along as I remember myself and have only recently started to go off it, seeing how it makes me fat.have <...> brought my motivation levels back, I've resumed taking my antidepressant, have seen friends in person and even managed to have the first date night in over 6 months!

I've ended my sugar binge and an working on eating healthy again.
In terms of sugar, I've had some success replacing it with healthier options like Stevia but really just lowering the amount of consumption helps. I find that if I stop having "sweet" did for a while I am much happier having more savoury snacks and it becomes harder (or less desirable) to return to sweet things. I have some healthy eating resources I can probably scan and share if you would be interested.
Snacking on protein instead of sugar really worked for me cutting down on sweet stuff. Now not only do I not crave sugar, but I find sweet stuff pretty nauseating, generally.
Even something as simple as some carrot sticks can be great to fill that hunger craving, my default action now when I am hungry for a snack is to check the cupboards (learned behaviour, must stop, naughty naughty) and make myself a large glass of water. That not only helps fight the craving, makes me feel refreshed, but also removes me from the kitchen so I'm not tempted to go back for a sugary snack.
