Today was a big moment for me. But this isn’t a story that begins happily.
For four years, I lived with depression. The first year was the darkest, filled with hospital visits, moments where I disappeared, with days and nights, the police and my family were searching for me while I was lost in a place I couldn’t escape.
Somewhere along the way, food became my coping mechanism. It was one of the few things that brought any kind of comfort, even if only for a moment. Over those years, I gained five stone.
Before all of this, I used to cycle 25 miles every day. It was part of who I was. But gradually, that person faded. The routine stopped, the motivation disappeared, and eventually, I went from doing everything to doing nothing.
Here I stand today, one month into changing my life. I stepped on the scales and saw 10kg gone. Not just weight, but doubt, pain, and the version of me that felt stuck.
A month ago, I had no motivation. No direction. Now, I’m rebuilding, stronger, sharper, and more determined than ever. I’m not just becoming the person I used to be… I’m becoming someone better.
This isn’t temporary. This isn’t a phase. This is a commitment.
I’m in this for the long run. There’s no stopping me now. My mind is clear, my focus is locked in, and the path ahead is finally in sight.
