I definitely have down days. I am starting to realize that I have one or two a week. My moods fluctuate quite a bit. I am starting to try to "enjoy" the down days, if that makes any sense at all. I mean, just go with it. Decide that you feel down and that you don't want to do anything and then just comfort yourself. Blankie and book? Great idea. If you feel down, it will likely take twice as long to clean the house, pay the bills, whatever.... so, let is go and reward yourself for not going off your eating plan. (not with food!)
