Thanks Kimmie1913! I am always happy to help my GC fam!
You sound like you are where I was (mentally) right before graduation. Senior year I gained twenty pounds because I never went anywhere and ate such awful junk due to depression. Part of me coming out of it was retaking an interest in my health and appearance. I lost weight because I was ready to move on and be better. The more I lost the more motivated and active I became.
You can't lose the weight in hopes that that will ease depression though. You have to be ready to love yourself again first, and then it will be simple. I wish you all the best, and feel free to contact me if you ever want a word of advice or encouragement. I got plenty of both to spare!
