TDLR: Trying to loose about 10kg with depression while taking it slow.
So I am not sure this is post worthy but here we go. I am 5'3" with a starting weight of 71kg GW 57kg, CW 65kg. I am having to lose weight incredibly slowly as I am aiming for 1600 cal which will be about maintaince at GW. I am mostly sedintry however 3 days a week I spent 5-7 hours walking for walk.
I have lost the weight while yes calorie counting but my main aim has been first to eat more fruit was aiming for 3 portions. Once I was mostly doing that I aimed to eat more veg as well again looking for about 3 portions. At this point I tend to eat about 2-2.5 portions of fruit a day, on days I am working I get a min of 2-2.5 veg in the form of salad for lunch still working on eating that on days off. However at the moment my mental health has tanked completely. So I have decided that for this week I am just going to focus on my mental health as I do not have enough energy to count calaries. I am trying to get counselling but that is a way off at the moment. My most recent thing has been to try and increase my protein intake however that has on the whole been less sucessful. But at this point I am just so tired and completely rundown I am not sure what to do other than take a few days off to try and reset somewhat.
I am currently trying to walk 8000 steps every day. The reason for the decrease is because that is achieveable for me. On days off I can normal walk about 7000 to 7500 steps so just trying to incrimentally change bits. Not really sure what to do. If anyone has suggestions for loosing weight with depression I am all ears. I struggle to leave the house if I am not going to work, I try and get out into my garden and potter outside if the weather is nice but its a struggle to get out even if I know that I will enjoy being out in the sun.
Sorry for the ramble.
