Hi Cat: Thanks for your post. It’s so funny that we all know what we should be doing to keep ourselves healthy, yet we’re so reluctant to do it. I know that when I get into a program of walking, I feel so much better. It’s recommended for so many things, from depression, as you mentioned, to addiction. I’ve read so many addiction blogs and articles that recommend exercise in some form to get the endorphins going and as a way to reconnect with life.
We become so used to being in the fog of escapism … blind and deaf to what is going on around us. I too believe that I need to approach eating and exercise in a one-day-at-a-time fashion. It’s the only thing the really works for any kind of habit change or self improvement. Maybe we should start a monthly "Walk Away the Urges" thread to get some of us moving every day. What do you think? In fact, I’m going to go out right now and go for a walk. More action, less talk. Will report back later to let you know how it went. !! RG
