You can talk yourself right out of exercising and eating right. It's easy, isn't it? That's because NOT doing something is way better than actually getting off the couch. I am a recliner chick, myself. I love it. I want to stay in it all day long. Sometimes, I do. I have marathon Law and Orders or writing stints that last till all hours. I love reading and movies. I write for a living. Therefore, I live in my chair.
That had to change. The best thing I'm doing for myself now is getting up and down all day. I pick a chore and do it. I pick an activity, usually yoga, and do it. I want light therapy, so I go outside and feel the sun and breathe fresh air. I go out for my errands, instead of depending on others. I can report that living a normal life is difficult. Moving at my weight is hard. Some days, I feel like concrete. However, getting out of the "chair" is necessary for my survival. Period. I don't want anyone burying me in it. I'm going to make a Pinterest project: a pallet couch. Cushioned, of course, but it won't be as comfy as the recliner. It will be for sitting. Then, I can sell the recliner and buy that punching bag I want. Hmm...
