Hi I'm 25 living in NY. I've struggled with my weight since i was young. I was doing much better in 2013 and 2014, but i went through a stressful event midway through this year( 2015) and afterwards, I went into a kind of depression. As a result, my somewhat healthy eating habits were thrown out the window. I'd just eat and eat fast food and junk because I was sad and would spend hours in a row on the couch watching tv. Then I would go to sleep at 3am, then wake up at 2pm in the afternoon. I mostly didn't want to think about what happened or try to move forward because it was too hard. This went in for 2 months. I think I've pulled myself together enough to start trying to be healthy again. If any one out there wants to take further or help me please let me know!

  • Hey Hun, hello from England :) Your story sounds very similar to mine. Have struggled with my weight on and off for years but had got into healthy habits when I suffered a major bereavement which through me into a downward spiral. I am working on different ways to feel better about myself and also doing couch to 5k which I did a couple of years ago and is amazing! Maybe we can support each other.

    Hun I've had this happen. But getting back up and coming back stronger can happen, and it can happen fast. I think you're ready for that. :)
    Feel free to add me for some extra support.
    Not everyday will be perfect, but its amazing what people cheering you on everyday can do!
    I hope you're feeling better these days.
    It's not fair for depression get the best of your mind. But it sure does sometimes.
