Itās still the morning, so youāre fine. 
I like to time my shopping trip to when they yellow sticker the cakes. Getting a bag full of cut-price chocolate buns perks me up a treat.

Good plan but recently supposed to be eating better.
I need to work on exercise and motivation but they seem too difficult

I mean, you know, buy other food too. Donāt just get the cakes.
I think the best thing I can advise it to aim for having a shower as soon as you can. I donāt feel anywhere near ready for the day until Iāve blasted myself with some super hot water. And if I can get through the shower without sitting down in it and crying then Iām in a much better position to tackle the day.

@zombifiedguy I find coming on here gets me out of bed on my days off, i just make sure my phone is out of reach, so i have to get out of bed. Whan you go shopping after your shower make sure you buy a little treat for yourself, you deserve it. If you still feel down, come here and join in the games etc, it will take your mind off things, and likely give you a laugh. Weāre here for you

Spending my break from work snuggling with the dog. Started work at 7, finally got round to taking a break. Working from home so no pressure to take it at a particular time

What really help to motivate me and may help you.
Remember why youāre doing it - is it for health reasons or do you want to look and feel better about yourself?
You could try and print off a picture of yourself either when you feel youāre looking your worst or your best.
This can help you everytime you look at it to think either - I do not want to look this way again, or this is just how I want to look. And the only way to achieve that is to knuckle down and put the work in.
Allow yourself a small treat on the weekend, something you have been really looking forward to.
Maybe even use an app to count your calories if food is a big problem.
Itās so hard but Iām with you, on this journey myself - sending hugs 
Iām going to go upstairs and do a 30 min step workout from YT.
If you do some more intense exercise it doesnāt even have to be for long, as long as you get that heart racing.

Just prepping for my weekly Monday afternoon business update call - it lasts for around 2.5 hoursā¦yippee! 
Any calls longer than 90 minutes are a complete waste of time. (In fact, any meeting longer than 90 minutes is too.) Iāll be thinking of you in your hours of pain.

Looking through the site deciding what to purchase next, only a couple of days until payday however Iām slightly concerned some of the products Iām really needing will be gone forever by Thursday as they are discontinuing them
