[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I’ve spent the last two years of biweekly therapy to work through lingering low level depression about my life. Now that I’m in a much better place mentally, I find I have the bandwidth to tackle my physical health.

I first started with looking for opportunities to build in exercise - biking to work instead of driving to the metro, going to the weightlifting class at the gym at work - and it has built up from there. Next I started working with the personal trainer at the office gym one-on-one once a week (truly the only thing that motivates me to go into the office 2x/week), and meeting my friend for yoga at my neighborhood studio (having a buddy who is also committed is making a huge difference). I’m now exercising nearly daily because it feels good.

I recently started working with a nutritionist and that has been incredibly helpful in getting my to recalibrate how I’m approaching food. I get very clear guidelines and it’s helping me get back to appropriately sized portions. The weekly accountability has been huge, as has been the trouble-shooting obstacles that are preventing me from eating better consistently. My hope is that by the end of the eight week session, my taste buds will have adjusted, I will have a broad base of recipes to rely on, and I will have found solutions to the logistical challenges that come with trying to eating well consistently. Basically, I worked first to feel better emotionally, and I let go of the idea that I had to do it by myself and I just reached out to others for help. [/quote]
