Re: Week 1, Day 2, Dig-in 2

[Guest guest]

Feeling inspired by this post. What are my symptoms for my weight struggle?

I feel unattractive because of my weight.

I don't like the " muffin top " look, so I wear shirts un-tucked.

My feet bother me from time to time.

I find it hard to run.

Positive changes from 7 years ago when I was much heavier:

I can walk and climb stairs now without running out of air.

I have gone from a 40 waits to a 36.

My knees don't cause constant pain.

I have not had a gout attack for years and am no longer taking Allopurinol.

Today I did the second dig-in: What are the symptoms of my weight struggle?

1. I always wear black pants or dark jeans.

2. I don't pay much attention to my appearance.

3. Having sex can be cumbersome (my husband is overweight also).

4. I am physically weak.

5. I have an ankle injury which is partly due to the stress of too muich

weight.

6. My knees hurt.

7. Other family members pressure me.

8. I have energy and fatigue problems.

9. It is very hard to shop.

10. I have to shop in fat-lady stores.

11. My tummy is a very large pooch.

12. My hypoglycemia is more difficult to manage than when I am thinner.

13. I have problems with migraine headaches, which might be better if I lose

weight.

Not a pretty list! But better to bare my soul than to continue this way.
