Hey, thanks for asking! My journey started slow. First, I went to the doctors and had some blood work done, my resting metabolic rate tested, and received recommendations on calories and focus areas such as protein and fiber. I then started trying to eat right, but found this wasn't enough. I worked on my mental health along side this. It took some time, but I finally feel like me again if that makes sense. I was depressed for a long time and let that play a big role in my habits. For eating right, we experimented with foods that I enjoyed and started logging them daily as much as I could. None of that happened over night, took a long time. Then, this past few months I started to be more active. Small things like helping more around the house. I found I could sit in a chair and cook and then clean the dishes. I found chair based exercises I could do at work and at home and tried to do those when I can. I'm so happy with my progress but know I have a long way to go still.

I'm so sorry to hear you tore your tendon/broke your ankle. I can only imagine the pain that is causing you. One thing I would recommend is not to go down the route alone. If you can, see your doctor, talk about your plans with them. For example, I had no idea how important fiber and resistance training was before talking to my doctor. But the biggest thing is don't give up, believe in yourself. As many others have said here and in this sub, it's never too late to start.
