I'm at my heaviest weight ever. Morbidly obese. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety and I eat my feelings and then I broke my leg back in March. I was non weight bearing for almost 3 months. I lost a great deal of muscle mass and gained back all the weight I had lost, plus more. Aside from the continued pain and stiffness in my leg, my strength is gone. My mobility is severely affected although I am so ashamed to admit it. I get winded climbing the one flight of stairs in our house and I have trouble getting up out of my chair.
I hate how heavy yet frail I have become. So I have still been eating my feelings. Trying to count calories has just led me to obsess about food and eat even more. So I.have decided to try a new angle. I'm going to start with activity. Im starting my day with a 10 minute work out. Every day. I know it's not a lot, but it is sustainable for me. After a week, I am going to increase it to 15 or maybe 20 minutes, however much I can manage. I already feel the effects of the exercise, with minor soreness. My goal right now is to complete a 30 minute workout of gentle, cardio and body weight exercises everyday. Once I reach that goal I will add on more. Maybe Strength training twice a week, I dont know.
Eventually I will get to food, I know that food is the most important thing for weight lost. But I am just not in a mental place where I can deal with that, yet. I hope this is the start of my new life, because I don't feel like I am going to live very long if I continue in this condition.
