Get out of the house. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!! Treat yourself well.

Don't forget the doctors and finding support groups. It is good to have "real" people in your life too :)

What a great decision!

Even if you only step outside of your door for a bit of fresh air, it's progress. Don't push yourself beyond the point of feeling comfortable, but make an attempt to at least try for an outing. If it doesn't work today, there's always tomorrow, right? Just keep trying and don't give up hope.

Hey, I get this too, and you know what, the more you think about it the more worked up you'll get. You need to take a deep breath, pull your shoes and coat on and just walk out. Don't analyse it or anything. And you don't even have to go anywhere. Just walk in a big circle round your house, then come back. Even if it's 15 mins, you'll be glad you did it. And the fresh air will be good for you. I know you can do it, I promise there is nothing to b scared or worried about.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
