Intellectually I know healthy eating and exercise would likely improve my mood, but I'm in such a funk that I find it near impossible to do these things. Depression sucks!

I was there, my husband was there . . . . . we ate out ALOT. But we started with little changes . . . . . and the fact that as I was eating a breakfast wrap at mcd's that had a pretty big piece of plastic in it . . . . was enough for me to quite eating fast food . . . . . I decided If i can't see how my food is made and whats in it . . . . I am not EATING it . . . . . and my husband and I kinda stuck with that. I am not a fan of finding things in my food that does not belong, so in a way, it was a blessing that day to chew down on that piece of plastic. My life changed that day. I started cooking at home, which led to feeling better, which led to my husband and I started walking.
Start small . . . . . small changes make huge differences!
Every day is a work in progress . . . . . ups and downs, set backs, but I always focus on where I was prior to where I am now . . . . . both my husband and I have come a long way! It can be done <3 It is possible : )
