Holding myself accountable

smurray0303

Hi! I'm new here and just would like to set my intentions for myself. I recently took a nasty fall and my right ankle and foot is currently in an aircast for 6 weeks due to a bone break and a pulled ligament. My left leg is currently numb from a compressed nerve due to swelling. I hate being cooped up and cannot wait for PT to start on Monday. I've stuggled with my weight my whole life from overbearing family, depression, PTSD, and a 10+ year marriage that is still going strong. I need a change in my life. My health anxiety and Dr.Google has reeked enough chaos on my life and my goal of becoming a mother is motivating me more than ever to change. I'm ready to take responsibility and stop making excuses for myself. I'm not a bad eater, I actually prefer and crave fresh, healthy food. I just have a control problem sometimes and give into myself too often. I reward myself when there is really nothing to be rewarded. I'm excited for this life overhaul and to be finished with excuses. I am more than what happened to me, I am whatever I want to be.

It may be best to tackle the weight loss once you've recovered from your injury as healing requires calories and a deficit could negatively impact the process.

That's not to say you shouldn't start making healthier habits though.

Are you getting any treatment for your depression, anxiety & PTSD?
