Starting Fresh!
Hi guys!
I'm brand new to the forum, but I really need help! Last year, I was down to 135; I was working out everyday, eating a healthy diet, and happy and confident as ever. I started working as a professional ballroom dance instructor, which, let me tell you, takes ALL of your time. (but I love it!)
In addition to starting such a committed job, I also started dating my dance partner (we've now been together for a year.) Everything was fine until January, when I noticed I was getting depressed and it was extremely hard for me to wake myself up. I eventually came to find that my birth control was causing pretty bad depression for me, making me crave horrible foods that I hadn't wanted in months, and also created a pretty serious vitamin d deficiency.
It's now almost November, my vit d is pretty much restored and I have a nonhormonal iud so I have no excuses!! I am so mad at myself for getting to this point, and mostly I feel overwhelmed. I remember how hard I worked for where I was before, and I can't believe I let it get away. I probably weigh 170; the last time I checked I was 165 but I'm convinced I've gained another 5 pounds. I'm 5'2, so this is pretty big for me, however because I am a professional dancer, everything is very proportionate.
Just looking for some support and motivation! I've just done 150 crunches as I woke up and cant fall back asleep, and will be heading to the gym in the morning.
