Wow, I guess it's been a while since I posted, huh.
Well, I'm back now, and I wanted to share something amazing that's happened to me.
I was diagnosed with atypical depression. Wait! That's not the amazing part. 
One of the symptoms of this kind of depression is compulsive overeating, and craving carbohydrates. 
That's right! All the years I struggled with my overeating, I never suspected that it could be a symptom of a greater problem. I always just assumed that I had poor self-control. It turns out that I would've needed superhuman self-control to overcome this symptom!
But that's not the best news.
The best news is that there is a supplement I can take which has been PROVEN to combat cravings in people with atypical depression. It's called Chromium Picolinate.
Yesterday I bought some and took a capsule and lunch... It was incredible! Like a switch being turned off. I no longer had a compulsion to constantly eat, and for the first time in years I wasn't craving biscuits and cake. I went from afternoon tea all the way to dinner without feeling the need to eat, which is a really incredible thing for me. 
After doing some more research I've worked out that I can have one of these capsules every two days and stay under the safe upper limit for chromium.
I am just so thrilled to have made this discovery, and I'm looking forward to finally losing these last few kilos, without having to fight against cravings.
