Oh jiminy christmas folks. I need some encouragement. I've been really depressed lately, part of that is binge eating. I've gained 20 lbs this year. I worked my butt off last year and lost 40 lbs so gaining half of that back in half the time adds to my depression and low self-esteem. Today I decided enough was enough and I was gonna get back on the horse and work out today... and then... my fat ass broke the machine I was on šŸ™ƒ please, I could use some encouragement.

      If it helps Iā€™ve been breaking ladders and physical therapy equipment since I was 14 lol. Iā€™m down 50 pounds but Iā€™ve still got another 100 to go. Sometimes I get sad and gain 10 of it back then I get happy again and lose it again. Itā€™s not a straight road my friend but there are lots of people on it with you even if you canā€™t see them around the bend. Best of luck!

      Always remember you are beautiful no matter what!! I'm similar situation. I lost 30 lbs and gained back some and also struggle with self esteem and I have bipolar depression. You are working hard, give yourself some credit. What helped me lose weight before was eating an early dinner, drinking caffeinated teas and exercising (at gym). I used to love going the Crunch gym. I love their sauna but don't know if they have that now during pandemic. In 2020 I lost weight by exercising a lot and I think the protein powder helped. Hope this helped. You're doing great!!
