hi peeps-now most of u know i dont post much but i felt like i could here. and i may be repeating info already here so please excuse i just cant read thru everything. some of u know me i am a short fat butch and have been that most of my life. a few years ago i fell and it turned my life for the worse. i have arthritis is both knees and a few other spot as well as other things. but most important was(is) my weight. i was very heavy and hbp, etc. now it took me a long time and i still cant do what i would like to but i did lose weight. took me about a year and half to lost almost 100 pounds.
i have gained a bit back and am still 10 pounds from what i call my first goal weight.
what i am doing and has been working for me is just making small changes in diet-- like looking at the ingrediants-i check sugar,fat and fiber content especially. i got more fiber in diet and multi grain or whole grains. supplemented where i needed to with vitamins -doing what i can a piece at a time.
now i know i will never be skinny and i wish it could be faster but i have to believe i am a work in progress. i am frustrated with doctors and have quit them for the most part. i prob need some help for a medication but i am reading up on naturak ways to help myself because i feel that is a better way to go. it is harder when u live by yourself and dont really like to cook for one. what i am saying is i support whatever way works for u. u can listen to advice and interpret that for urself. i commend all those in this thread-thanks for letting me spout off and rememeber the rabbit didnt win that race-the slow but sure old tortoise did.
