    I'm also new *waves*

    Just for today... I will....
    1. Stay within my calories but eat enough so I don't get that pesky "bad things will happen to you message".
    2. Walk for 45 minutes with at least one 30 minute full walk.
    3. Plan my meals for the next week and do the shopping list.

    @kwfitgal - the gardening and dog walking did not go so good yesterday....I did get 3 items cleaned out of cupboard though and got to enjoy watching my son get in our swimming pool for the 1st time this summer. He is always the 1st to break it in. The water was 69 degree but he was a trooper.

    JFT
    take dog for walk - DONE
    come back and post goals and check in - DONE

    thanks for all of you and your support, it means more than you even know. I just have to get on here everyday and take baby steps. I can do this and I am not a failure.

    I just discovered the MFP community and was happy to find this thread. I have major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, dysthymia, and generalized anxiety disorder, and I'm on many medications. My goals will be laughably small to most of you, but I'm hoping this forum will help me make progress and also help me recognize my progress.

    Just for today, I will:
    1. Not go back to bed.
    2. Listen to my weight loss hypnosis session at least three times.
    3. Drink 14 cups of water.
    4. Not eat any high sugar comfort foods.
    5. Not order pizza even if I'm too depressed to prepare food.

    Welcome to this thread! We are so happy you are here. My daughter also suffers from depression, anxiety, and bipolar, so I understand your goals, and understand how you may think they are small goals, when these really are huge goals! So proud of you, and hope you continue to join us!

    1.) Recommit to coming here each day to post & support others.
    2.) Not tell myself I am going to fail
    3.) Weed around my flower bed tonight
    4.) Take dog for walk after work
    5.) Use up 2 items out of cupboard to start getting rid of too much food in pantry. I tend to over buy & then do not know what is in there.

    Glad to see you back Ruby. I am trying to also follow your #1 goal. I have been really struggling myself, and today I did so much better, and it feels wonderful! We can do this!!! You are NOT going to fail!! You are already a success!

    Back at home and will get back to thorough tracking, serious exercising and daily-goal setting. I actually did track for most of the week that I was gone, and I did get lots of steps even though I didn't have time for a real workout.

    I turn 40 on Friday and will absolutely NOT reach my goal by then. Oh well.

    Monday:
    1. 12,000 steps :(
    2. Lift weights :)
    3. Stay under 100 G carbs :)
    4. Get full 25 G of fiber :neutral:

    Tuesday:
    1. 10,000 steps
    2. Finish all heavy gardening projects
    3. Stay under 100 G carbs

    JFT - find a walking trail and get my steps in.

    Yesterday I was in the car for a 9 hr drive to visit our son. I only got in 7375 steps. And I had to jog around his family room last night just to get those.

    JFT - also stay below my maintenance calories. I was over 89 calories yesterday. If only I had not had that Mic Ultra!!!
