Overweight, unmotivated, drink too much, eat too much. How to turn things around?

Seeking Advice

There was a period of time in my life where I used to be fit, active, confident, great dating and social life, and generally just full of life. These days, I find myself ordering food too much, drinking slightly too much beer, stressing, and working too much.

I know the feeling of having that spark in life. I want it back so bad, but I can’t seem to shake these habits. I know I can do it cause I’ve done it before. The last time I turned things around was when I felt like I hit rock bottom, I was incredibly depressed and anxious and felt like my life was not mine. It felt like an urgency.

But it seems so much harder this time around. I’m no longer an anxious mess which I am happy about, but it doesn’t feel like there’s a fire under me anymore.

I feel like can picture that better Version of me and it’s just beyond the horizon. I keep telling myself I’ll do it eventually but time keeps passing and I don’t want to lose these years.

Thoughts or words of wisdom?
