I’ve been seeing a therapist to help with my depression. In fact I just had a four hour session yesterday that kicked my butt. We were talking about my all or nothing type personality. I have this problem where I either do something all of the way or I don’t do it at all. For example, eating- I will eat and eat all day long or I will starve myself and not eat anything. If I decide I want to exercise, I will workout for hours and hours each day, or I won’t even get off the couch. How do I find that happy medium? I am so terrified of failing that I push myself to exhaustion. What my therapist told me to do is write down my goals and ways in which I can reach those goals. Instead of eating all day long, I made a goal to only eat when I was hungry, and then I would only eat half of the food on my plate. When it comes to exercise I am now choosing a workout regimen that lasts an hour, that way I’m not trying to do yoga, run  hike, bike, and go to the gym all in the same day. Everything in moderation!
