in Fitness and Exercise
I've been going through a rough patch, with first too much homework/testing, (I'm a Senior in high school), and then a bad break up. I've been going to the gym less and doing sometimes half the amount of exercise I usually do. I have also been eating my feelings. I didn't mind the weight at first because I couldn't physically see the difference, but now I can clearly see I'm out of shape. I'm no longer confident in my body. I went from 114 pounds at 5'4 to 124 pounds. I'm upset and exhausted and I don't know what to do. I used to be able to work out for an hour and a half at the gym and I used to eat very healthy and barely any fat, now it's like I'm tired all the time and all I eat is junk food.

    I know you asked this two years ago.. But I'm going through the exact same situation now. If you did, how did you motivate yourself to get back on track

    Just relax and take control.

    I've gone through this - for me the answer was rigorous honesty. I needed to realise what I was doing instead of just pretending to myself "just one more day before I start" wasn't really Hurting me so I weigh myself every day. I try and get moving all the time with walking and I try and log everything (still find this hard to do). I think by doing this I quickly got back into it - within a matter of a few days I feel like I am as motivated as I was at the start again. Another big one for me is a great friend I have on here who just kept hold of me and didn't give up on me until I got going again- I think this was also vital. Good luck. If you want someone not nag you and keep on at you until you get back feel free to friend me :-)
