Hi nne, I am 5'4 and did weigh 360 now I weight 338 but that

amount was a struggle!! My kids are older a 7 and a 9 year old but the 7 is

very into everything kind of kid--LOL!! It is hard to keep up with him and

can't get around to catch him.

I used to take long hot bubble baths and now I can't even sit down

to, my knees hurt so bad I do miss it. Hoping if I lose some of this weight

it may help I know I will still hurt but I will aleast be able to get around

alittle better-LOL!!

For years I had doctors tell me it was in my head and nothing was

wrong with me and I knew something was wrong because I have always been well

up till the point of this starting!!! I was so depressed and got worse till

I finally found one who knew what was wrong. Now she is gone elsewhere and I

have had a hard time with the doctor who took over for her when she left.

Tring to find different one!! Nothing really seems to help I try different

things on my own. I drink lots and lots of water no pop or caffiene of any

kind as that really imflames me. Trying a new diet it is a low carb so far

feeling a little better but I still have lots of BAD days. Wish there was

more good ones though!!!

I will see people on the street I know and they say oh you

look good but when you say it is not a good day they just size you up. Like

your not sick but really I am. I push myself to go shopping and do things

but some days it is lay in bed all day cause hurt so bad and depressed. Gets

very discouraging. Thanks for telling me I am not alone cause I sure feel

like it sometimes!!! I have rambled long enough thanks for listening!!
