I've always been on the bigger size. Growing up I had to feed myself which meant all the junk food in the pantry. I've struggled with depression so my appetite and motivation has always been unsteady. Diet/exercise has been on again, off again throughout my life. I actually started to lose weight after a hard break up. I counted calories and exercised regularly. Then he came back into my life just to screw with my head and I ate all the weight back.
Okay not important.
I'm 5ft6 and 257 now and I hate it. Being a medical worker I work nights and then usually have to return for another shift in the morning or the afternoon. In between shifts I usually end up getting fast food or stopping at the gas station for junk food. To make matters worse, working so much and having to study for classes I don't get much sleep so I live on energy drinks. I don't doubt this also has a huge impact on my weight. When I finally get home I'm so exhausted I can try to fit in a 10 minute exercise but that's a big if. With my depression and stress level so high it's much more likely I'll be binge eating and hating myself.
I don't want to be like this anymore. I feel so much shame and disgust just being me. I don't know how to get out of this. I don't know how to fix things.
For those who work a lot and are losing weight - how do you do it? How do you stay energized?
Any advice is welcomed!
