Hi guys!
I’ve recently started to turn my life around after battling depression for three years due to losing a good friend. I’m a huge stress-eater, and everything gave me stress during those three years. I’m an introvert, so I walked around with feelings I didn’t share for more than two years. I just ate my problems away, and watched myself get bigger. I’ve always loved sports so seeing myself get slower and bigger was depressing as hell, pushing me down into that dark place even more. I lost my spot on my sports team because of not being fit enough, and didn’t know hoe to share my struggles.
Good news though, as I’ve been getting better and better after finally seeing a psychologist. I’m nearing the end of a one-year track now, and I have been making a lot of progress over the last 5 weeks. I’ve decided to start counting my calories every day, working out whenever I can, and it has done SO MUCH for my mental health. I’ve lost 10kgs (22 pounds) in five weeks now, and seeing the results is so worth it. I don’t know if people relate to stress eating, but in my experience it was so hard to get rid of. For me personally, counting calories and weighing myself every week is such a morale boost- especially when there’s result! Work towards who you want to be, it’s the best feeling in the world!
TL;DR Gaining weight and insecurity, anxiety, stress, depression often go hand in hand. You can end up in a vicious spiral, and it’s hard to find a way out but if I can, so can you! Good luck out there guys!
