Depressed obese man is desperate for help and advice

Depressed obese man is desperate for help and adviceI have been obese all my life. This means I've been depressed since a very young age because I've just been missing out on a lot of things. Recently, my girlfriend of 5 years confessed to me that she had been in several affairs (roughly 60 not counting online affairs) and that she had a relationship with this other guy for about 3 months. She dumped me to move in with him, and that just added to the depression and self-loathing that I already had. I've been on the verge of suicide, but I just eat my problems away. When I cook, I feel better, it takes my mind off things. So, I cook a lot; and as a result I eat way more than I should. I've been wanting to start working out again, but every time I do, I just don't see results and I fall in the same bad habits of eating junk food and not caring about myself. I am 20 years old, and I realize I'm very young, but time has been going on so quick that I'm afraid of staying obese and alone all my life. I'm not here for pity, but for help. I was wondering if you kind people could help me with diet ideas, foods and recipes I could make. I'm not a professional chef, but I do love cooking so I'm quite good. Also, some exercise ideas. I have a full time job but no other real responsibilities. I would love to go back to college but, my obesity and depression always get the best of me. Thank you in advance for your help. I'm sorry for the long post. submitted by /u/DannyL497 [link] [comments]
