It's a beautiful day. The temperature is just how i like it mid-50's. Yet I haven't been outside in well.... I can't remember. At least 2 weeks now and that was to go to the grocery store. I don't like going places anymore and I feel awful about myself. I signed up here because I'm tired of feeling this way. I fully intend on changing this about myself. My plan is to get up and take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm going to try and do it after the sun comes up, which will be difficult....I really have a difficult time being around people because I feel so bad. I'm hoping that if I start walking it will help me get over this rut that I'm in and I'll lose some weight too. If anyone has ANY suggestions that have worked for them - please let me know. I haven't told my family about this. I didn't even go see them at Thanksgiving this year and I really don't want another holiday to go by.

Thank you

Hey

I've joined this forum after reading your post and seeing no replies under it, you deserve some encouragement, your doing the right thing by tackling the problem head on. I'm rooting for you .

If i could give you any advice, it would be to choose an ultimate goal, eg. feeling better, and then break it down into dooable and realistic steps, eg, take the dog for a walk, visit family, strike up a conversation with the cashier at the grocery store, stuff like that. You can do it, and every step you take will make you feel more confident. and if it doesn't, seek help, you can get better.

Anyway i hope I've put a smile on your face, and i hope that you feel fantastic really soon

Good luck
