I just found your site and thought maybe I could get help and support in trying to be a better me. I don't really know how to begin or if I am in the right place to start. It's taken along time for me to get the courage to do this much. Maybe someone could lead me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the reply. That's exactly what the Doctor has told me. If I could have done it on my own, I wouldn't need to ask for her help. I can't take medication, my insurance won't cover it(for diet), not that I would want to anyway. But for whatever reason, I can't seem to eat right or get the courage to go outside and walk. I am on meds for socical anxiety disorder. Some areas of my life I do fine. I work in a store and love it. But when I walk out the door, I go back to being me and not wanting to be social in any way. I am afraid to go out and walk because someone might see me. I have a real self esteem issue, especially because of my weight. But, even with all that, I can't seem to be able to control the eating, lack of exercise, or motivation to do anything but sit at home. Sorry, I started talking and couldn't stop. Thanks for listening.

Thanks again. I went to WW along time ago and didn't get much out of it. They just told me to eat right then sent me home. I need more than once a week encouragement I guess. I don't know what it's like now. I will look into it though. I will also check into the journal you were talking about. Talk to you later. THANKS!
