I just realized something... I need to start with baby steps and work my way up to going to the gym.
Here is my commitment:
Every day I will take out the trash or get the mail.
I know this doesn't sound like a big deal but believe me when I say... IT IS A BIG DEAL.
MY WISH
I need to get me a wardrobe so I can go out in public.
The clothes I have are so uncomfortable... I stay in my pajamas all day.
I need to be able to get dressed in the morning like normal people do.
PLAN
I will work on my wardrobe and in the meantime it gets dark by 5:00 so I will get my mail or empty my trash at night... BABY STEPS!

UPDATE
Big disappointment/ setback with my weight loss journey. My insurance will pay for aquatic therapy (exercising in a pool) and transportation to and from but my doctor won't request the authorization until I have been cleared by three other specialists. This is easily a 6 month delay before I can begin exercising without pain.
PLAN
(1) I am going to look into paying out-of-pocket for a gym membership.
(2) I need to see if I can get my caregiver's hours increased so she can drive me to and from the gym.
(3) I will take advantage of the gym's free three day passes to test if I am physically and emotionally able to handle the additional stress of exercising.
(4) ALSO... I will ask Santa to cover the $100 cost to enroll in the gym! I can't think of a better Christmas present!!
ACTION(s) TAKEN
(1) I am weaning myself off of the anxiety medication I have been taking every day for seven years.
(2) I am sitting up in a chair instead of lounging on the couch each day for as long as my body can handle sitting up.
(3) When I sit in the chair I get a great deal of sunshine so I can quit my vitamin D supplement and obtain it naturally via the sun.

I have added salads, fruits and V-8 juice to my diet and reduced greatly my intake of sodas, ice cream, cookies, pudding, chips and after two complete months have GAINED weight. I now weigh 371.8 pounds.
GOOD NEWS
I have withdrawn COMPLETELY from my sleep medication!
I have replaced my prescription anxiety medication with one Stresstab tablet from Wal-Mart!
I have a new doctor that is three blocks from where I live, he has his own pharmacy, mammogram clinic, lab for blood tests, and I can get an appointment in days instead of three months!!!
PLAN
Get authorization from doctor for aquatic therapy for weight loss.
My insurance will cover the cost.
My insurance will provide transportation to and from the aquatic center.
I am going to make my aquatic therapy my ONLY focus. I have to push through the pain of going to... getting dressed... and returning home. Once I am in the pool, I am in heaven!
When I ate only vegetables and fruit, I lost 8 pound, and I had no mucus. I need to stay on this eating path... I WANT TO STAY ON THIS EATING PATH.
GOD, please help me to overcome the pain and temptation and cling to the healthier, happier me that can be.
AMEN
