i am a 16f who has struggled with depression/anxiety for the longest time, which has always been my go to excuse for not going to the gym. i was too depressed to exercise, so i ate, then i felt bad about myself, and ate even more. it was a vicious cycle that i put myself through, which caused my weight gain to spiral out of control.
two months ago, i weighed in at 210 pounds (i’m 5’6). i knew i had to make a change or else my weight would cause health problems in the long run. from that day forward, i started to make small changes to my diet/caloric intake and made it a point to go out and do something physical at least once a day.
last month, despite my anxiety, i went to the gym for the first time... and it wasn’t bad at all! since then, i’ve been going 4/5 days a week and i now monitor what i eat using the myfitnesspal app.
with all that being said, as of today i’m finally 20 pounds down at 190!! 🎉🎉 some days it’s been extremely tough to even get out of bed, let alone go to the gym and work out,.. but i’ve realized that consistency is key when it comes to weight loss.
this lifestyle change has improved my mental and physical health drastically. i don’t feel as groggy and sad as i was a few months ago. im still no where near my goal weight, but i’m proud of my progress so far!!
