Hello!
I lost 9 pounds since January and I'm technically not "overweight" anymore. I know it isn't a lot, but I have a very slow metabolism (5'1 gang) and I just find fitness a bit of a struggle on my end. So I just CICO (leaving me a 200-300 calorie burn each day). I've lost 30 pounds before but I gained it over the past 5 years.
I've struggled with depression for the past year and now I'm getting medications for it this week. For the past 3 days I went back to depression eating and gained around 2-3 pounds of what I lost but I don't want to get me down.
What helped me overcome depression and the idea that I'll "never lose weight" is the idea of Atomic Habits by James Clear. If I eat clean today from now on, I'll be a 110 pounds before 2022. I feel like working at things slowly is better than not working with it at all. Who knows, maybe I'll pick up on fitness someday soon when depression clears up.
