I am already quite proud, because I have walked more in the last few weeks despite not feeling good than I have in days. and I didn't let not feeling good keep me from doing it, I just walked slower, and I sat down more frequently, and If I was really sick and tired and dizy and not just lazy we went home. quote:
ORIGINAL: maybemaybenot TfB : A little advice : Tackle one problem at a time. You have two very serious issues, your mental health and your physical health, including being morbidly obese. < sorry, but you really are and it is taking years off your life. And I am no skinny minny > To try and loose weight, excercise, go to your mental health appointments, work on your relationship issues, your back problems and being unstable on meds is setting yourself up to fail at all of them. I would suggest you work on your mental health first and foremost. You need to be stronger mentally. AS you progress in therapy, you will know when you can get going on a real diet. In the meantime, cut down on your food a little and walk, move, expend energy. Yes, it will hurt, you are severely out of shape with spine problems and your muscles and bones are not used to being used, they are used to being at rest. The more you move regularly the less it will hurt. Take a Ibuprofen or Alleve three times a day, take your walk about an hour after you take the med. Try and in crease your walks to two times a day after a few weeks. You have alot of complicated mental and physical health issues, and I suspect they are all intertwined, so don't take on so much that sucess seems insurmountable and just saying " fuck it " to everything. Do your therapy, feel stronger and trust me, if you stay with it you will become proud of yourself. Some one said therapy is painful...... yes it is.... it hurts, you have to look and think about things you don't want to and one day you get to the point that you can actually take resonsibility for the things that in your heart at the time, you saw as someone elses fault, but you were a willing participant the whole time. mbmbn
