A year ago I was working full-time, going to the gym at least every second day and eating pretty well. Now I'm 6'1" and a little on the thin side anyway but at that point I felt the best I ever have and weighed around 170. But now, I haven't worked full-time since April since I quit my job, haven't gone the gym in months and hardly eat. I've never felt worse physically in my life, I look horrible, guant and I know I'm a bit malnurished. I've honestly considered seeking help because I'm scared I'll get really sick because of this.

The problem isn't that I'm anorexic or anything, I know I look like crap like this and it certainly hasn't done anything for the self-esteem. Up until lately it's been more of a money thing then anything, I quit a job I hated, doing something I loved, and poured all my money into a business that's just kicked me in the ass. Also I'm not much of a cook so usually I end up eating some form of pasta which does absolutely nothing for you anyway. I ate a Sheppards Pie TV Dinner not to long ago and it was the best thing I tasted in months, no joke.

My gf has moved in with me, been here a week now and of course she is concerned about me. She tries to feed me but on our financial budget things are limited and she's looking for a job while I'm back to doing part-time stuff. I still have the gym membership so I told her I'm going to go back, she's going with me because she thinks she's fat, but at 125 lb, she looks beautiful to me. Now I need to set some goals.

So I'm truely hoping I can get better, I'm so weak at this point compared to a year ago that when I flex it's just soft, it's never been this bad. I don't know exactly what I weigh right now but it's gotta be 20 lbs lighter, I'll update that when I know for sure. It's a huge goal but I want to weigh 200 lbs this time next year and at this point in my life I'm determined and scared enough to make it happen. Please pray for me, I have a slender body type anyway and it's going to be hard but I know with some hard work I can get better.
