Great post. Thank you for sharing vulnerably. I know that can often leave me with feeling exposed. But just as you say about others, your story is valuable and matters.

Because I know that I need something physical to push myself to fight through the fear.

It can be so overwhelming to be at the starting point of big changes. I think you have the right idea though. Small, consistent changes will build momentum. Don't dismantle the whole thing at once because for every block you take out, you'll need a new, healthier piece to fill in that space.

Keep posting and good work!
