What am I doing here?
I'm re-evaluating my decision to choose dieting and exercise as my change goal for this semester. I believe that choice was a little ambitious with all that has been going on this semester. As we discussed in class, too much change at one time can be overwhelming and counterproductive. On the bell curve, I would be pretty far left and trying to change one of the few things that keeps me sane and happy (yes I'm comforted by food) only adds to the stress. I wonder if it is too late to work on something else. I feel like the only person that this will serve going forward is talking about why I'm not able to exercise and change my eating habits. Very little progress has been made and quite frankly, I'm not very concerned with the lack of progress because there are so many more pertinent matters going on in my life. Time to reassess where this is going.

Either one of these change choices, dieting or exercise, is a significant challenge. Perhaps consider narrowing to one or the other? Changing behavior in the context of larger life changes is often the case for families and individuals who seek therapeutic help. For most people it takes a support network (of at least one other person) to help, encourage and hold us accountable.
