I am going to be taking a break from trying to lose weight. I have been depressed pretty much on and off since middle school, but in the last two months it has gotten to the point where I can't deal with it by myself any longer (none of this has been diagnosed but I'm 99% sure I have depression, possibly atypical depression). Hopefully I can make it to the doctor at the beginning of next week.
The reason I have decided to put my diet on hold because of depression is that I do not want to see this turn into an eating disorder. I strongly believe that I need to get my mental health under control before I do anything drastic (especially a diet because I think one must be very emotionally strong before making changes like this).
Once I get this under control everything might be a little easier. At my best I am a morning person, but lately it has been a struggle to get out of bed. I believe once I get this fixed I'll be able to wake up early and go to the gym.
I am still on a mission to lead a healthier life, it has just shifted from physical heath to mental health.
