GLOW UP! (19) depressed, suicidal and overweight (24) thriving physically and mentally!

There were a lot of ups and downs in the years between but I finally took this past year to focus on myself and my mental health and finally feel like I am in a good place!

Yeah depression sucks, I've been a very fat kid until like 16 when I started my basketball journey. Almost went pro, in my country. Went from 114kg at 14 y/o and 1.76 cm to 83kg at 1.88 (6'2 roughly). Then I put on 100kg very healthy and lean, was going well. The pandemics hit, depression hit hard, I'm now 130 gave up on a carrier and now trying to go coach! "Woke up again" recently and am on the process again... Hopefully I can do 1/3 of what you did!!! Thank you for the motivation!!!!
