For reference, I'm not satisfied with the way I look and I'm pretty sure I'm overweight at this point. My body is starting to look even worse because I have 0 physical activity during the day due to the pandemic.
Stats: 20 years old, 166 cm, 70kg.
I've been trying to lose weight for 3 months now, but I mess it up all the time and of course, I saw no results. To be honest, I don't see any pleasure and satisfaction in long-term plans and it might have something to do with my clinical depression. I only want to stay in my bed all day and eat a lot of junk food because it's so easy and much more fulfilling to my brain - I'm aware I won't get anywhere with this total lack of motivation, but my mind continuously tries to convince me it's better this way
I'm so tired, mentally and physically that I simply don't want to hear about workouts, even though my skin suffers a lot from sedentarism and it's visible. I'm so deprived of short moments of happiness that I simply don't want to hear about dieting and counting my calories and whatsoever. I'm sorry if I sound like a crybaby, but it's so frustrating to know that I could have lost 10kg until now but my depression said no, you better overeat and stay in bed.
I hate the way my body looks and my family makes fun of me until I cry, but not even harsh criticism is effective in my case. What do I get if I lead a healthy life? I don't care if I'm healthy, I get no validation from that. Yes, I would get compliments, but it's a massive effort only for that and I don't think it's worth it.
Help! For those of you who had to fight weight and depression at the same time, how did you do it?
