@Tanishq - I am sorry for coming in so late to your post. I know what you mean about the negative feelings when we feel we can't reach or set a goal and we come down on ourselves like a building.

I know you are struggling to put your health in place again - and I just want to say why don't you come and hang out in the 'log your daily exercise thread' - you don't have to be actively walking or exercising.

While there, you can get support for your plans or just talk about working out. Talking can also lead to action and you might find yourself back into being able to set and achieve small goals that lead into big ones.

You are not a disappointment to any of us - you are a powerful reminder of what brave looks like.

I've been struggling for the last year to get myself back on a healthier lifestyle and your post really resonated. The yo-yo of motivation vs desire vs self shame for failing.

I bought myself a fit bit last month and I have to say it's helped. I made my goal a simple one, to walk a little more each week than the one before, even if it was only a few hundred steps. Maybe something like that would help you?

@City Slicker Always helpful fellow road warrior. Your post is helping me very much and I will be back to that thread very soon. Give me some time please. I appreciate your help. :hug:

@AnnaLost Yes I have reverted back to that, making simple goal and walk a little more each week. Thanks you for post, it gives me assurance that I have made right choices.

I found I need to change how I motivate myself. I'm seriously behind? Yeah, I'm darned behind. Still, I'll commend myself for it, as if I were in my peak condition - because it IS the best I could get to, at the moment, where I'm right now, it isn't even a lie & wishful thinking; it's acknowledging I'm giving it my best and right now cannot do more.

OR I find I can do more and I'm indeed just being easy on myself, so time to try new things. Eventually it may be a different obstacle in the road I wasn't thinking of... so a time to identify what it is, why it is, and how can it be removed.

But acknowledging I'm not starting with nothing. I'm starting with the best - only the best of a very specific angle.
