To-do List Of Uncomfortable Things

Not open for further replies.
I did this, specific and attainable goals. It changed my entire life.
My list had things like go to a gym, have a training session with a trainer, get a pelvic exam, do yoga, see a therapist, have a pedicure, have a massage, see a nutritionist, see a weight loss doctor, get my hair cut...

I also made a promise to pick professionals who I knew were qualified and then at minium give their advice a really solid try even if it seemed crazy. That has really paid off.

So I lost over a hundred lbs (and am maintaining at a size 6/8), I am in shape and run/train/work out/yoga/etc. I am up to date on my wellness check ups, I have had massages (which I could afford more!), pedicures (but tend to give my self some on my own),have had my hair cut many times. And I see a therapist. A female therapist! For 16 months nearly. I changed my entire life over the span of about 2 years.

I just picked the next one to do that seemed less scary until I had everything done. Seeing a t was prety close to the end of my list. But I feel inspired by all of you to do more, because I am stagnating.

Sign up for my first race
Take a swim lesson
See a dentist
 
What a great topic!
I'm hoping to do these things in the near future (in no particular order, since I couldn't decide which was hardest!):

1. Go grocery shopping alone
2. Use public transportation alone
3. Call someone I don't know (e.g. to book an appointment)
 
Find a new trauma therapist instead of avoiding going.
Tell the doctor the truth when he asks about suicide plans.
Go for a walk even when the weather is raining and crappy.
Eat healthy more often
Stop drinking alcohol to reduce my stress
 
Be brutually honest with my T
Take time to focus on myself
Allow others to get within a five food radius of me :cautious:
Go to the store without hand sanitizing every 30 seconds
Go to the dentist
Ignore the bratty five year old in my head who calls me names :confused:
