I was always active as a child and managed to keep that going into my college years. then a few years ago I started my major bout with depression and stopped exercising regularly. About 6 months ago I took a major turn for the worse and can barely get myself off the couch for work. I've gained nearly 20 lbs almost over night. I cant find the energy to cook healthy meals let alone clean the house. I know that getting outside and taking a walk will help but finding the energy to get up seems to evade me. Just so very tired all the time.

I could hVe written your post, I know exactly what you mean, except I've always been big. I see pictures of myself and that saying "the camera adds 10 pounds," we'll for me it's like 50 pounds. I hate seeing pictures of me because I've gained soo much weight in the last 2 years. I was at 238 just before I had my daughter, and by her first birthday, I was at 162. She is now almost 4 and I'm back up to about 215-220 because right around her first birthday is when the depression and eventually binge eating hit

Yeah it's really tough I alternate between losing a lot of weight when I just don't have appetite and eating everything and gaining a lot of weight. The energy necessary is just crazy difficult. What I find helps is to try and find some sort of fitness group to join? Accountability really helps for me. I do karate and I'm fairly regular so they will ask if I've been missing and to me that's worse than not showing up.

Best of luck!
