But as the second poster reported, the psychological factors shouldn't be underplayed. My happiest time was as a high-achieving semi-anorectic calorie-restriction eater. You should definitely lay down the groundwork for your own wellbeing, but you can't delay take-off indefinitely and spend all your time preparing (for happiness). Conventional stuff like challenging yourself, being true to yourself, working hard, meaningful relationships are most important. If you do these things its def. possible to be happy even on a SAD diet, but maybe not as easy? I don't know.
