Is my lack of motivation a sign of depression?

In college I gained A LOT of weight. It was definitely more than the “freshman fifteen” and ever since I’ve really been struggling with body image and losing the weight.

I go through spurts where I tell myself I can do this and I build an exercise routine and watch what I eat for 2-3 months then one day I just stop and I lose any progress I made in that short period. This has been a cycle for me for the last 5 years.

When I do stop, I stop hard. I’m excessively lazy. I don’t even want to do stuff around the house. It’s like I’m self sabotaging. What the heck is wrong with me? I recognize there is a problem but I don’t know what to do to be better.

Anyone else experience this? Please help.
