Your Definition
To let yourself go means to stop caring about yourself and your outward appearance/hygiene, usually because of depression and/or a traumatic event. Typically, a person who has let themselves go will rarely if ever leave their house unless they absolutely have to, and as a result they will balloon themselves up to quite an unhealthy weight. Their confused friend(s) will often try to get them to come out of their shell, usually with no success.
