Back in college a few years back I reached a point where walking up stairs would wind me. I was over 200lbs (i’m 5’8”) and was severely depressed. All i ever ate was bread because it required no energy, and i would only leave my bed to head to the toaster. I wish I was joking about that haha.
One day I just kind of woke up from my depression, and I realized none of my clothes fit anymore. So i just started making lifestyle changes: I would walk to work, I would eat real foods... and I ended up dropping down to 175 just from that. I then got a gym membership and dropped to 160, and was so, so happy. I had so much energy, moved so much easier!
Then I started dating my fiance, who’s mother would overfeed me (it was really, really toxic living with them? She was hysterical over making people eat only HER food, and a lot of it). So now I’m back up to 180 and have like no muscle. Even though I lost weight once, It’s like i’ve forgotten everything to do with fitness!
So I’m going to start walking a bit more often, and eating more fruit and drinking water to start. I’m mostly posting this for my own accountability so I hope it’s okay! I’m excited to start again, and to become healthier. :)
