Hi, guys. I’m new to reddit, I’m not sure how to use it but I’m gonna share my feelings towards my weight loss journey and hopefully find someone who feels the same way I do.
I gained 88lbs due to a depression I’ve been going through since 2015 and only in January 2019 I’ve been able to start doing something about it. So I started exercising, running, weight lifting, taking the stairs, dieting, cut soda and sugar from my life and all that.
I used to think that once I started to look like “my old self” I would feel like my old self (like I was before depression). And that did not happen. AT ALL. I was shocked and also very disappointed.
I thought that my mood would improve with exercise... People always say that running is the best antidepressant there is and I just don’t feel a thing. The only thing I’ve noticed to be improved is my body’s health, especially my breathing. I don’t snore anymore, I’m not out of breath anymore, I can take the stairs and not have and asthma attack lmao. But other than that I’m still so freaking miserable :/
I mean, I still have 20-25lbs to lose, but I’m looking like my old self already. I’m definitely prettier, getting more attention from guys now, but I just overall feel like shit.
I had the idea in my mind that weight loss would make me realize I’m capable to do great things and overcome obstacles, but nope. I don’t even feel proud of myself lol :(
I just can’t stop feeling miserable, I miss food so much (I’m not gonna give up on my weight loss journey though but ugh). I hate exercising and I still go to the gym everyday anyway, hating it haha.
I guess I just thought that weight loss would magically make my life 100% better and that didn’t happen, so I just feel... disappointed 😔
Oh and also I lost hair like crazy during the weight loss, which made me kinda sad hahah
Can anyone relate to this feeling post-weight loss? Has anyone been through something similar? How did you overcome the feeling?
Ps.: please excuse me if I made any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.
🥰😘
