I feel as though "doing my best" will never be good enough. 

Every Monday and Friday, we split the group into two and half of us do yoga and half of us walk. Today was my day to walk. I've been resistant to physical exertion since the day I got here and I've been very vocal about it. I get very anxious when I feel physically uncomfortable. This usually leads to panic attacks. 

Today, I was not looking forward to taking my walk because I've had a panic attack every time I've done this "contemplative walking" thing that we do. Today, I did not. And I have even better news: I've lost a significant amount of weight since being here. My clothes are fitting differently and I'm moving differently. All I've done is shift what I'm eating and adding a small amount of physical activity and the extra weight is falling off of me.

This being said, I never seem to get a break. Every time they see me doing well, they push me that much harder. I feel like what I'm doing is never good enough.
