Does anyone have tips for a beginner to exercising and eating better when you’re depressed.. when I wake up I just wanna lay in bed and it’s like all I crave is junk/sugary foods.. idk how to get out of this and it’s so frustrating.. I want better for myself but it’s like my mind is like “nope..”Any advice at all is appreciated

I would say try to be gentle with yourself and make it as enjoyable as possible. Is there any kind of exercise you like to do? If so, go with that? What kind of healthy foods do you actually like? If you find yourself giving into your cravings, accept it, and simply begin again. You can start slowly. For example, when I started meditating, I started with just 1 minute. I gradually worked myself up to 20 minutes, adding 1-2 minutes a week. Pick something you feel confident that you can do, even if it's walking for 5 minutes, or eating one piece of fruit. Give yourself credit for any wins, no matter how small. Good luck!

I'd set a timer and get out of bed in one go. And no matter what, don't get back into bed until its time to sleep. Making your bed in the morning is a great deterrent. Also, just do 1 thing and don't overwhelm yourself. It's hard but it won't last forever. Trust me

Small steps, small changes Feeling intimidated? Break that shit down into smaller steps. In no particular order, some suggestions: Add one cup of water in the morning before your coffee/soda/energy drink. That's too much? Then only drink HALF a cup of water. If you have to start at just taking a sip of water from the tap while splashing your face with water to try to wake ip, do it! Pick something like squats, wall push up, jumping jacks etc. Do a few of those everytime after a bathroom break when you're at home. (Or maybe whenever you leave bed to get a snack. Whatever way you can integrate a little extra movement into your day). Try to ADD healthy things. Ok cool you have chips and fast food leftovers for breakfast. Try it with orange juice today. Or add one piece of fruit to it. Make it social if you can. I will go on MUCH longer walks if I'm talking with someone. Start taking a multi vitamin. Unless you have specific meds that might conflict, most milti vitamins are a safe supplement. Even the gummies. That's where I had to start. It helps with the current gaps in nutrition as you are making new habits. I always fall into the trap of trying to make a bunch of radical changes all at once and it never works for me. For most people, it's temporary. Pick a small thing or two and do it for a month. Then pick another thing to add on and keep going.
