Weight gain

Hello All,

I struggle with depression and anxiety and get stressed easily. As a result I stress eat on sweets and carbs. I had a baby 3 months ago and weigh more now than I did while pregnant. I hate being obese. I'm 220lbs, 5 foot 5 inches but I can't stop eating. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you Thatjuanguy,

I just started a workout video today. I just hope I keep it up. When my depression hits, I loose all motivation for absolutely everything.
