Having being heavy for the last 30years I have just tried to keep it manageable with healthy eating then being as active as my body will allow. That isn't easy when I have injuries that have trashed my back so I just do what I can by having injections in my back to keep most of the pain at bay, a year ago my let knee got into the act, just one more wheel to grind but doable.
Recently my knee doctor and I had a somewhat heated discussion about my weight, my diabetes and in his mind my inactivity. Some where in all this he threw in religion ( not sure where that came from ) he made the mistake of lumping me in with all the other people who are my age (68) and not seeing me as someone who is active ,has a social life ( I play pool three nights a week , play basket ball and work out near daily ). The way I see it is I'm not training for the Olympics but he thinks I should be. I know many people who are near my age and a lot younger that don't do what I do and they don't get this crap about weight. My P.C. say's I'm doing just fine as far as she is conserned , my weight is stable at 260.My goal was to be from 337 to 200 and slowly it will happen , he harps that even 200 isn't enough all I know it's fine with me as I never wanted to be skinny, the leastrI have weighed was 115 when I was in pro rodeo then I never saw myself gaining this much.. life just is what it is. What I went trough to be 115 was a train wreck waiting to happen
(long story). I am what I am take it or leave it, if someone judges me for my weight it is there problem not mine. All I tell them is watch it cause life will catch you if you aren't careful, besides I like me with a little fluff.
