One Step At a Time

I think it's about time I try to climb up to a more healthy lifestyle again. I have tried to make this climb before and fell, and I stayed down. But I found I can pick myself up again and I have. Now I just need to change my mindset, which will take work, but I can do it.

I was always a heavy girl, and I also thought I was alot heavier then I was. I didn't realize this until I looked back at some picture and saw that atleast at the start, I really wasn't that over weight. Of course ...

I didn't realize this until I looked back at some picture and saw that atleast at the start, I really wasn't that over weight. Of course thinking I was, I sort of gave up on ever being that fit girl and I really did become that heavy (I think my heaviest was 320). I think it's about time I really try and lose weight instead of just giving up.

Fitness Minutes: 5,896

My Goals:
My biggest long term goal is to be the ideal weight for my height, but until then I'll just focus on getting to 200.

My Program:
I will be doing cardio atleast 5 days a week for 10 mins. My goal is to walk the dog everyday for 20 mins or more.

I will do strength training atleast 3 days a week, with the goal of doing it everyday on a different area of the body.

I will work on cutting out sweets aside from once in awhile from my diet and generally eating more healthy.

Personal Information:
I am currently living at home and working on pulling myself together.

Most recently I found out that I have type 2 diabetes, though I found out after I had already started working on changing my life.

For many years (over 12+) I have been dealing with depression, social anxiety, ADD (I just don't have the hyper part), and, the one that has been hurting me the most, AvPD (Avoidant personality disorder). Alot of people see AvPD as a more extreme form of social anxiety, personally I can feel how different it is, but that's just me. Because of these issues I have more or less shut myself off from the world for the last ten years (or about that much time). For awhile I did try to get out and do classes, but the AvPD got in the way and I ended up unable to finish 80% of them. Because I have been keeping to myself so much, I'm afraid I don't have much in terms of social skills. I hope I don't offend anyone, but if I do, please know that it's me, not you, at fault.

emoticon Happy BELATED Birthday, DONE GIRL

Libra is not a "fat" sign as it puts her out of balance. Staying slim and fit is natural for you. When Libra over eats it is because she is out of balance in her emotional life. She needs to talk about her feelings to someone. Yoga and dance can be wonderful ways to get exercise and relieve stress.
Remember, no decision is a decision. Make one and stay with it.
In Libra the Sun is tolerant, affectionate, and well balanced. You are a courteous and agreeable person who is considerate of other people's feelings. You have a personal charisma attracting friends. Functioning well when working in harmony with other people, you are an excellent team player. You like being on the winning team.
You get along well with Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Leo.
Your health issue can be your kidney area and skin problems.
You are a "steel fist in a velvet glove" so know you can accomplish anything you set your mind to do. You are an excellent student and can excel in math.
You become unhappy in ugly surroundings. Don't stay in a bad situation as it can make you ill physically. You are frugal and want to get quality for your money that you work hard for.
You prefer working in a pleasant and very orderly atmosphere, with people who don't put undue pressure on you. You like to see your role as that of peacemaker. Peace and tranquility are so important. The least sign of hostility or discord is very upsetting to you. You refrain from speaking your mind if you fear your thoughts would alienate or start an argument. Always ready to compromise or mediate, you need to be careful not to appear wishy-washy or less than reliable.
In many ways, you are dependent upon the approval of others. Libra is the sign of relationships. You think of yourself as half a partnership rather than an individual. Because of this feeling of dependence, you put your mate's needs and desires ahead of your own. You may become confused as to what you want at any particular time, versus what your partner wants. Your partner's goals and ambitions become your goals and ambitions. You are the true helpmate. Because of this attitude, Libra is very stable and dependent in a relationship, even a bad one.
As attached as you are to your partner, you may not really show it much. In your quest for balance and harmony, you rarely have or express strong emotions of any kind. Yours is a very dispassionate demeanor that is detached. You don't invest much passion or feeling in your relationships, loving with your head instead of your heart.
When cast in a supervisory role you may have some difficulties. This is because you weigh each decision before choosing your direction. You can experience problems if you are called on to make frequent snap decisions for the group. You are an excellent go-between, and not as good at being the leader or boss. Unfortunately, such a balanced view of situations sometimes makes decisive action more difficult. You have a hard time making everyday decisions of little or no consequence. On the big issues, you may vacillate indefinitely.
One of your main personality traits is a love of justice. You are insistent on fair play. In this too, you have a very balanced and unbiased way of looking at everything in your world. Accordingly, you are often called on to be mediator in family disputes or in disagreements at work. Your impartial judgment can always see both sides of a matter. You can be very cool and detached, keeping your feelings well under control in pursuit of fairness.

Your love of balance and harmony allows you to appreciate music and the arts. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet closely associated with artistic endeavors. If you don't have talent yourself, you probably to do have an interest and excellent taste in these matters.
Courteous and refined, good manners are important to you. You exhibit them and you expect them. You are especially repelled by vulgarity and coarseness. Tactful, diplomatic, refined and socially successful, you strive to say and do the right thing. It is always so important for you to make the right impression.
