loss of motivation

[gordita]

i was doing really good for about 3 days, feeling better, looking a little better, etc. then i found out my brother was doing coke and everything went down hill. i got depressed, emotional and disinterested in working out. how does anyone handle stuff like this and still work out. it seems that whenever i'm doing good with exercise and something happens in my life i always lose my motivation. what do i do? i still feeling pretty emotional and i drank for the same reasons my brother uses (childhood crap).

i just don't know how to feel better.

Hello Gordita,
Sorry to hear about your brother. Eating is the 1 thing
that makes ya feel better temporary when your upset you just have
to figure out what you can substitude the emotional eating for? I Like
to take my dog for a walk and listen to my MP3 or pick up a good
gosip magazine or a good book to read, talk to a friend or take it out
on a piece of exersice equipment.
I wish ya all the luck and I hope your brother realizes he is taken the wrong
road in life and gets the help he needs.Tammy

I've done the exact same thing but after the death's of my friend Helen at 22, and my grandfather. I was working out and doing really well, and losing weight and then they each passed away and I was devestated and felt like I had lost all motivation. It's hard, and if you need anyone to talk to, don't hesitate!
