in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

From the title, you can probably tell: I've done this before! About a year and a half ago, I started a journey toward fitness and I was dojng really well. I was stronger, fitter and healthier than I had ever been before, and my body made dramatic changes. Then I fell into deep depression and I wasn't motivated to do anything. The weight came back on as a result of cycles of restricting and bingeing. The more I failed, the worse I felt, and the worse I felt, the more I failed.

I suppose you could say that since the depression began, my biggest struggle has been thinking of this as episodes of being "good" and then "failing" rather than being a lifestyle. But I'd like to get back on track and use my mistakes to improve myself. I'd love to have some friends for support please :) I'm looking for friends that enjoy food, to help me remember that in can and should be enjoyed while reaching goals!

Thanks in advance :)

    Hi :D

    Firstly, welcome back!

    I've also experienced the same up and down cycles, but this time I really, really hope to do much better (and to stay committed)! I also love food and I think my biggest problem is moderation and proportions...

    I hope we can support each other :)!
