Fulfilling my craving.

Hey guys! I took quite the break from everything fitness and tumblr. I’ve been going through some deep lows lately, had a rough relationship then breakup, deaths within the family, and struggles in school (fuck my thesis). 

I’ve been so low, have to take too many anxiety medications daily, am always exhausted, and unmotivated. But I’m at a point that I’ve realized that I need to try something different to deal with my issues. My naps and anxiety pills can’t fix everything, plus I don’t like wanting to sleep for 12 hours a time and feeling fuzzy from medication to function. 

So here I am. I got a pass to the local rec center, got a fitbit as a Christmas present, and I’m ready to try to take control of my mind and just get healthier in the process.

I’ve been working out daily and am incorporating healthy foods in my diet for a week now. I got on the scale and I lost 1.2 pounds and this is just the beginning. This isn’t only weight related. I’m tired of being sick all the time, I tired of my anxiety controlling my life, I’m annoyed that the depression always comes back. I want to change my habits and take care of myself in every component of my life.

So hey guys, thank you for having this support system out here. For giving us a space to grow and encourage each other. If you are using exercise as a means to help your anxiety/depression, please let me know! I would love to talk to someone in a similar situation and to swap tips :)
