Red face Here We Go Again

Well, I have been gone for a while. I had a bit of depression, and stopped dieting. I got into a state of mind where I just hated myself. I avoided leavng the house. I didn't want to see family and friends. I was so disgusted with myself, I assumed everyone felt the same way. I decided one day that enough was enough. The very first thing I did was find a therapist. I obviously have some real issues that I need to deal with. One of my therapists suggestions was to find a gym that had a childcare facility. I didn't even know gyms had childcare. After I left her office, I started googling gyms in my area. I found one that did have childcare. Today I went in for my first session with a trainer. I decided to sign up for a monthly "check in". I would like to have more sessions than that, but the monthly budget just wont allow that right now. After I finished at the gym, I left and went to the grocery store. I knew it would be a complete waste to go work out, and come home and eat garbage. So, after months of putting myself down, I have decided today I will give myself a pat on the back!

Default sounds like a great start

The therapist and the gym, I think we all have issues that lead us to medicate with food. So good for you for seeking help!

Good for you! I'm currently in a similar rut and came here looking for inspiration. Thanks very much for posting... I feel a little less like I'm the only one going through this. Keep moving forward!!

Wow!! Three wonderful steps all in one day. That's so great!! I wishing you lots stick-with-it-ness!!!

BTW, my gym has childcare and they also hire folks to work in it. Check out your gym for a job even if it is just a few hours a week - it could pay for your membership or the extra trainer time.
