Hello all. Wishing the best to you and yours. I'm struggling with despair around my weight and my health status. Bought a used treadmill a while back. I can't use it because it trips the fuse box in my apartment and all the electricity goes off. I despair when I think of the things I can not longer do physically. I miss ten speeding, swimming, walking everywhere. I despair because I feel like the only person who cares less about that is everyone.
 I know it's not really like that. Just because I feel that way doesn't mean it's true. ( just a "pity -potty pause") I don't know why I've been hanging on to this fantasy of my birth family being a part of the "i care" group. Can a person be addicted to disappointment? I guess it's more likely a person is be brought up to be that way. How does one "un-learn" that training/ pattern? Thanks for listening. Peace, ArtLady

Maybe you can run the walker and try to turn everything off but one light? Can you go out at all and do some mini walks? If you can walk on a walker surely you can walk around outside and increase that more and more?

Bless your heart -- Don't be so hard on yourself. Of course your family cares! People DO care about you!!! I'm sure you know that.
And can you walk outside, instead of the treadmill? It might be healthier besides, being in the fresh air. Or do you feel self-conscious? Don't feel that way because believe it or not, no one is looking. And even if they were, who cares? Chances are you'll NEVER see them again anyway! Just walk PROUD -- you are fine just the way you ARE. God doesn't make junk, you know! It doesn't matter if someone is big, small, medium, tall, short, etc. We're all the same -- we're God's children. Simple as that. So never feel less-than, or 'unworthy' or 'unloveable', etc. You are perfect just the way you are! Don't hide in your apartment. Get out and walk if you can. And keep your head up! God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

I had agoraphobia and still struggle with it sometimes. I have to make myself walk in the local park; I get self-conscious about walking in public (doing anything, even taking out the trash lol). But I need to be healthy, I weigh way too much, myself.
I like Leed's advice. Hold your head up high! We really are okay and it's easy not to feel okay. Billi

As I type this I'm looking at the treadmill in the room and I keep thinking I should just get on it and walk. I just can't bring myself to do so though. I need to lose weight.
