How I did it
It made me
calmer 
How I did it: Figuring out that avoiding was both the cause and effect of my anxiety about certain things made me realize the best thing to do was just start facing them one by one. Read how I did it…
It made me
good about myself
How I did it: Started with just a few pieces (new jeans that fit me well, and boots) and built around them. Used things that I already had in my closet that would work. I don't have a lot of clothes, but I'm happier about what I'm wearing. I also asked advice and opinions of others, which can be scary if you're not ready to hear them. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: Sleeping regular was the key. While I was having a lot of trouble sleeping this was impossible. It took a while, but it's happening. Having a routine helped, as well as sleeping better. Read how I did it…

I want to get healthy but I am scared.

How ridiculous that sounds. And yet, it’s true.
And it’s taken me a long time to realize it.
I don’t know why, but the idea of restricting what I eat (specifically the bad stuff) makes me nervous. What am I nervous about?
1. I feel like I can’t do it.
2. I won’t be able to do it
I have read and heard what it takes, everything from being mindful of each bite we take and make small changes, etc. I guess (and this is very hard to admit, even though it’s true) that eating, again, especially the bad stuff, has gone from what it should be (eating) to other things that it is not (for comfort and safety).
How can I get there??
oh dear legwarmers!
