My wife and I were only talking about this subject the other day....and I guess it's something that makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
I have clipped this article and posted it, mainly because I'm sure there are people who wouldn't even know why they're in a rut....that's how it starts.
I think it's important to understand why you're doing what you're doing, why you're eating what you're eating....and why you find it easier to drink than face your demons.
If you are depressed you should seek professional help...In Australia you can contact "beyond blue" for more info.....
Here's the latest news on depression from Reuters Health.

I couldn't agree more. Our habits definitely influence our state of mind. It can be a terrible cycle.

It certainly can....which is why talking to professionals can really help.
