Skier, there's a direct correlation between the physical and mental symptoms I experience when I go too long without eating or when I eat certain carbohydrates without balancing them with fat and protein. The fact that I feel much better and can think more clearly after eating correctly shows that.
That said, and despite it being a hindrance, I agree that it shouldn't be used as an excuse for inaction because it is so easily remedied by eating properly. My comment was mainly intended to point out that what one diagnoses as depression might be something else entirely. All else being equal as far as physical health goes, I think motivation is mainly a matter of self-discipline and habit.
