So when I was a teenager I was a very skinny girl (120 lbs), but I started gaining weight my senior year of high school. At first it wasn’t anything to worry about, but then I went to college.
I worked out less frequently because I had to quit my job at the karate dojo in my hometown. I ate shittier food because the commissary never seasoned their vegetables and they were always undercooked. I was 300 miles away from family and friends, and my depression, which I’ve struggled with my entire life, worsened. I gained 90 pounds in 3.5 years.
I’ve since dropped out and moved home, and I’ve started taking medication again which has helped immensely. I was wondering if anyone here had tips on how to break the depressive cycle of hating yourself for your habits but being too lethargic and sad to do anything? I want to do better but I can’t shake the pattern!
