I do all my walking around the house so I don’t have to go out because I have lost so much weight and I i get embarrassed as I am only 46 kilos heavy trying to change my attitude to my whole way of life dietitian says that I have to get on my daily excersise and stop worrying about what other people might be thinking and start a lot more plus all off those foods that can cause weight gain I know I should not be moaning and think nabout all of the people who struggle with severe weight problems which with no doubt causes their copd to be even more of a problem duff
