Some Advice on Starting AGAIN

SilentRenegade

Hello all,

I used MFP last year and had great success with it... however I only really ate healthy and dropped the weight very quickly. I kept the weight off all throughout the summer and through most of the fall, and then it feels like out of nowhere it came back with a vengeance. In August I had moved out of my parents house and in with my boyfriend and we were both doing well with eating healthy and then I went back to school full-time and continued working full-time. All I can think of is that the stress got to me really bad and I began to eat a lot again... but I wasn't conscious of it. Then my clothes weren't fitting properly, you know the drill.

In November they said I had anxiety disorder and put me on Lorazepam. I had issues with my appetite on it, but did not lose a pound. I began exercising, running mainly, almost everyday for two weeks, and NOTHING came off. I was eating properly, based on what I ate before, drinking a lot of water, staying as active as I could, but nothing was changing.

The anxiety seems to have gotten worse so it was suggested that I go out on stress leave from work. I want to use this time to actually get into a good routine with working out and eating healthy. I have since been taken off of Lorazepam and put on Buspar, which I have not taken yet since this was just prescribed to me yesterday.

Any advice on FITNESS would be very helpful. I have never really tried to lose weight based on fitness before, just by healthy eating and that has always worked. I want to be overall healthier and I think it will help with my anxiety issues if I can begin to exercise and see results. Yes, I'm not patient, I've been spoiled in the past because I've generally lost weight fast. I am willing to be patient for the next month that I am not working, but would like a bit of guidance on where to go.

I just attempted to do Insanity and failed horrible in the warm-up. I'm not sure if it's lack of motivation or just seriously out of shape... but I was not having an issue doing C25K a few weeks ago.

Sorry for the long post. I guess I'm just a frustrated individual at this time. Any advice would be much appreciated.
