depression help: I’m 25 years old. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I’m 25 years old.

I weigh 145 pounds and I’m only 5′0. I’ve been an athlete. I’ve lost weight before by dieting and exercise. I can never keep it off. I buy clothes that are my size but yet I’m so embarrassed to leave my house I end up wearing nothing but sweats and large T’shirts. I am married and have a supportive husband who every weekend does everything possible to get me out the door and I can’t do it. I end up crying and staying in. I’m eating emotionally and I am totally aware of what I am doing and I can’t stop. I have those “turning point” moments almost everyday when something happens and causes me to react and promise change however the pattern remains. I can’t stop eating unhealthy. What’s wrong?

well theres obviously something bothering you…
try something that keeps ur mind away from food like excersing, i wouldnt recommend not eating because eventually all the weight will get back to you…
maybe you also feel pressured to have that perfect athletic body that you probably once had…
