I used to struggle gaining weight. Before I was 28, I never weighed more than 119 at 5'7". People would always comment on how tiny I was and saying they wished they could be skinny like me. I'd tell them I have a high metabolism, which isn't untrue, but I really wanted to tell them my secret was having massive bouts of depression where I only eat a handful of crackers or whatever at a time.
I have a bucket list in my phone and one of the items is "weigh more than 120 pounds." I thought that once I achieved it, it meant I had finally beaten depression. The day I went to my annual physical and weighed in at 125 was one of the happiest days of my life. (Still depressed af though lol.)
Congrats on getting an item cross off your bucket list , you did well. I hope that means something to you even if it doesn't make your depression better , you did a thing at least is something ๐๐ฝ
Absolutely! I'm still very proud of my achievement, of course!
