Went from walking 0 miles this year— to 25.5 in 2 weeks time. Thank you for all the motivational posts. Life can be really isolating even without Quarantine.

I gained about 100 pounds in 2 years from severe depression. Bed sores won’t leave my room type depression.

The journey to even start losing weight has been an uphill battle. I was diagnosed with a binge eating disorder late last year. I have good insurance and still couldn’t afford treatment so I’m navigating it alone.

I still binge. I still eat crappy food emotionally. But I said enough and started being active. Being active feels like an easier first step (emotionally speaking).

3 weeks ago I was out of breath after .5 mile. I kept walking, adding .25 or more if I could each time.

Within 2 weeks I walked 25 miles — my minimum now being 3 miles at a time, max so far has been 6. 3 I’m tired but feel good, 6 my feet ache but I rest a little If needed half way.

Lost a few pounds but not much because of my eating habits which I need to tackle next.

Anyways. Just wanna day thanks to this sub. I know I’m just starting, but I have a long road and these posts keep reminding me the small choices will one day add up. Also I forgot how good it feels to be active. Here’s to not quitting.
