Hey all!
I was on this site some years ago and I'm back. I have been slowly gaining weight and then I busted my ankle pretty badly over the summer and haven't been able to do much cardio since so I packed on the pounds! I now weight 203 pounds! I told myself I would never let myself go over 200 but here I am. I am 24 years old, 5'7" ish. I work at an inner city school in New Orleans so I am constantly stressed and surrounded by fast-food, and other buttery/fatty/fried foods. I went from a lifestyle of walking everywhere to driving everywhere. I went from NEVER eating to fast food to having it a few times a week (barf I KNOW!). I just can't believe what I let happen to myself.
Last year I training and ran a half marathon and was going to do the same this year. This ankle issue has totally frustrated and depressed me. 4 months without being able to run is slowing killing me. Since I can only do some strength training stuff and have been trying to find a love biking I know I need to stick to a pretty strict diet. I keep saying I am going to and telling my boyfriend (who I live with) that we both should and it only sticks for about a week. I know I need to turn my depression into motivation I just don't know how. Someone please help!
