A Secret To Loseing Weight
Posted on Jul 24, 2008 under Fitness |I have been big all of my life, well okay not all of it, there are pictures to prove that at the age of 5 I was skinny, but soon after that I got huge. I now think I have found the reason for it and it’s something that will be very hard to change. The problem, I’ve been depressed since I was 5. Yep, thats it. Simple. There are reasons for it that I’m not going into, but lets say something happened that made me that way and I just recently found out about it.
Why do I think my depression makes me fat, well it’s simple, the only time I have been able to lose weight and keep it off was when I was happy. That lasted for about 6 months, this was a time where I was far away from my family and able to do things for myself. My depression is something that I don’t even notice anymore, because I’m use to feeling horrible. Two nights ago I was with a friend of mine and I realized that the last time I was that happy was when I saw him 2 years before that. He’s the type of person that you just feel good around and he’s fun to be with.
So yesterday I had no energy because I didn’t get home the night before until 4am. This guy lives 2 hours away from me so it’s a long drive. Anyway even without energy I managed to do a few things and I was just happy. Now I didn’t change the way I ate at all and I lost 5 pounds according to the scale this morning. Not bad at all, here’s the thing, it’s not just being happy, it’s being happy enough to do what needs to be done, even if your tired, when your depressed you just don’t do it. You think why should I?
Unfortunately becoming happy is the hard part, but I’m going to try to work on that. I’m hoping to make more money so that I can see these friends I have that are far away, that and move. If your depressed like I am talk to someone, find something you like to do and make yourself do it, no matter what. I went to see this friend at 9pm. I left my house and drove 2 hours, got there at 11pm and left at 1:30am. I made myself go because I knew I needed to, I needed to be around someone who made me feel important and good about myself. That is the key to weight loss, feeling good about you and being happy
