Mild Depression/ Melancholy

I’ve been feeling kind of down lately. The weather has changed to cold. This morning I think it was 35 degrees. I haven’t been taking my mid morning walks with the baby. He’s still teething something fierce. He’s extra fussy and clingy. I’ve been baking and eating a lot of cookies in response. My emotional eating is continuing to flare up but I am maintaining my weight. Thankfully. I suppose due to breastfeeding and chasing the baby down all day. I’m still at 129 lbs. My goal is 121 lbs. I think any lower in weight will look bad on me but I’ll reassess when I get there. At this point, because of the terrible teething - maintaining weight is still winning in my book. I am going to make sure I don’t go over 130 lbs. I feel generally irritated, exhausted, and mildly sad. I’ve been watching travel vlogs for days. I don’t know if this is good or bad. I’ve also been working on a course I want to develop and watching videos on photography, an old interest of mine. I tried to take some photos but the baby just seems to hysterically cry if I’m holding the camera and not him.
