Depression and Eating Healthy/Working Out Hey guys, So first off, I'm a college student (male). Recently, I've been pretty self-conscious about my body (I'm about 5' 8" 260lbs and I hate it but my family is naturally kind of large so I think there is also a genetic component) but I'm really trying as hard as I can to lose a little bit of weight and put on some muscle. I think that I've been doing okay for the past couple months, but I keep sabotaging myself on making any REAL progress on days where my depression is particularly bad. When my depression gets the best of me, I'll eat terribly and completely refuse to work out. Regardless of how hard I try, I can't seem to beat using food as a distraction when I'm depressed. Has anyone else here had a problem with depression keeping them from losing weight and getting into shape? If so, do you have any advice on how to overcome it? It kills me that I don't seem to have the willpower to overcome it. Thanks!
