Hi,

Wasn't feeling that great last night, my weight is bothering me and I have been comfort eating wich ofcourse does no good to my cause.

Have not self harm even though last night I wanted to. I'm glad I didn't :)...but still I am stuff with no relief and don't know quite what to turn to...I wish I could turn to exercise, I know how much it would help with my anxiety and weight

But I am so lazy, unmotivated and I hate myself. Why can't I just get up and do it!!! Ahhh I think I willl try do some walking after work today, I'll promise I'll try and force myself to do some sort of activity.

I feel the temptation to just fall into my eating disorder habits but I have had enough of this. I need to be active and stop dwelling on my weight.

Ok guys through your telepathic minds send me your signals that will kick my butt off the couch and out the door onto the foot path! :)

Know about comfort eating and it is not good when you are on a/d - can cause major weight gain.

Good on you for not harming - that's courage.

Send you good vibes to start a healthy life/living.

Go Blue!!!

Don't know much about comfort eating so perhaps you need to talk to your psychiatrist about it. All I know it increases your weight and is not good for you.

I send you good wishes to get healthy and well.

Well done on not self harming blue, that's the first step of many on the road to recovery.

We all know all the GP's and psych's all harp on about exercising, but at the end of the day who of us has any energy to actually do it??

I hope you were able to get out for a walk after work - you're a better woman than me!

Take care,

Hey Blue,

you are so close to prgress you know./ You can identify what needs to be done, you know the obsacles and now you just need a plan and do it.

Thats right write yourself a timetable even just one day at a time, So you may start tomorrow with

730 up shower breakie
900 work
1100 break for a tea or coffee, have a chat with someone, do 10 mins net surfing whatever
1 lunch adn a walk
5 home time
600 walk for 45 minutes
645 dinner
8 - 10 read veg music whatever

It is a simple way of actually building excercie in your day

And you will be so proud if you write out a plan and stick to it!
And giver yourself credit if you do.

I know my daily is probably miles from what you can and could do but I hope it gives you an idea. It is an invaluble tool when I am depressed for me so just wanting to pass it on.

Best of luck I am sure you will be making progress soon and cant wait to hear about it

Regards
Liz
