Depression and Losing Weight... Fight!

I’ve posted here a few times, trying to help others remain positive and encouraged and motivated. It’s an attempt to keep myself positive and encouraged and motivated in my own weight loss journey. But I’m getting to the point where my depression is overriding my weight loss and making things... more difficult.

I’m still losing weight, which is great, but I don’t get the same excitement from it. It isn’t a novelty anymore. Maintaining my healthier lifestyle is becoming harder even though it’s not all that much more maintenance than an unhealthy lifestyle since all I’ve changed currently is my diet and calorie counting. Right now I’m just tired from the amount of willpower this is requiring since my motivating is waning but I really don’t want to give it up or slide back into bad habits. I like the progress I’m seeing and I want to get healthy so incredibly badly.

Does anyone have any tips for continuing to remain motivated so I’m not expending so much energy on sheer willpower? Even the littlest thing to help me cope with my depression. I’d rather not go on antidepressants, I have in the past and all they do is give me the energy to have motivation. I have the energy, but lack the motivation. (Little access to therapy due to American health system)
