in Introduce Yourself
Hello! My name is Destinee. I'm 18 and looking to lose the weight that I've gained from the past 2 years.
2 years ago i was extremely confident and happy with myself. I ate healthy and worked out about 3/4 a week. But once I began a new year of school after moving that summer, things got tough. I became depressed slowly throughout the year. I didn't have the motivation to work out anymore and I started eating junk food, a lot.
Recently, my depression hasn't been as bad as it was last year. I'm recovering and I'm also slowly motivating myself to become more active and eat healthier again. I want to be that confident girl that I was a couple years ago.
I'm just having a hard time getting back into that cycle again. I'm almost overwhelmed and don't really know where to start.
That's why I was hoping I could meet some other people here to help motivate me to do so. I really want to lose the weight that I've gained. Hell, even if I could go even farther than that, it'd be great!
It's a pleasure meeting you all :)

    Hey there, Destinee! Don't be so overwhelmed--it's easier than you think (: Just breathe, focus and start with the little things. I just started logging what I did exercise/food-wise and started walking/jogging. I've realized it's got a lot to do with learning to take things in moderation. You got thiiiss!
