I agree with Elsa, baby steps! Try changing one thing at a time. I like the author SARK, who talks about taking baby steps. For example, if you intend to go for a walk, first go in your closet and get out your walking shoes and put them somewhere where you will see them. Then, pick out some gym clothes or something comfortable to wear for walking and lay it out. Next, I would put on some really energizing music. If you still don't feel like going for a walk, call a friend and talk about it. Maybe your friend will want to go walk with you. That's just an example and some ideas.

I have a gym buddy, and I wouldn't go if it weren't for her. It really helps to know I have someone counting on me to show up in the mornings. Maybe you can try to find a gym buddy (on Facebook or something?).

As far as the depression goes, make sure your pdoc knows about it. You shouldn't have to suffer. HUGS!!!
