I have to make a confession; several years ago my weight went up to 364 lbs. The doctors told me that this was due to medication. I have since then had medication changes and with some exercise I am lost some weight I know weight 288 lbs. but I need to lose more. The only way I can do this is through exercise like walking and weight training.
The doctors and a naturopath told me I would be dead if I didn't get the weight off. 55 years old so far so good I have diabetes due to obesity, but since I've lost weight my blood sugars have fallen into normal ranges. Being obese isn't great and it isn't good when you over hear comments about your weight being spoken, or jokes about you being called names like the Michelin Man. I know there are a lot of fat jokes out there, but it's not that easy. I didn't eat at MacDonald's every day or any fast food joint. Actually I don't eat that much and I am a vegetarian who doesn't buy junk food or sweets, so why do people judge me before now that it's medications made by the Lily company that caused my weight gain and also my diabetes.
MY PLAN
- Watch my diet by calorie counting and using a food journal
- Walking and treadmill workout daily
- Weight training two to three times a week
I try to do this and start out doing it for a couple of weeks, but then I get sidestepped. I need a way to get on track and the best way is one step at a time not to many steps on my plate.
