Seeking help to start feeling my body like mine again
Hello there! I come with a lot of questions, but I’ll try to be as short as possible.
Essentially, due to depression and probably laziness at this point (idk really) I have put my health, both physical and mental, to the very far side. Now I am desperate to start building a life where I can live my body without feeling back and joint pain and feeling miserable all the time. I am mad at myself in an unforgiving way.
But I really do not know where to start, that’s why I am here to seek help.
I know that I am extremely stiff, and I need to work on mobility (also because I broke my ankle in 2023 and had 3 surgeries on it), and I WANT to build muscle mass.
currently i am on a low calorie diet to lose weight (1450-1500 cal) and i am steadily losing weight (-2kg!!!)
To reach these goals, besides not knowing where to start, I really struggle to find and start a routine. I tend to be forgetful, or to procrastinate into oblivion; lacking motivation even though I feel horrible and I hurt a lot. I probably should start therapy too, and that is in the making, but another big problem is that I do not have the funds to get PTed or afford a gym membership even. So home exercises would work best right now I believe?
So the main question i pose here is: how to stay consitent and if are thwere proper workouts i can follow online, maybe on YT or other free platforms that may anyone know
I hope that having some starting point would help me to kick my butt and start, and I thank you all that will stop and give some advice, even more welcome if it’s from personal experience.
Thank you <3
