Over-weight from meds

[Babygirl20004]

Due too my injuries, i have too take meds that put weight on. I used to be a runway model. Ha! You'd never guess that. I am trying too scale down on my own with this one med. I know, then exercise gal! I am partially handicapt from accident. I can no longer walk very long. I'd love to walk again everyday! I used too with my walker which too me is humiliating, so i no longer do. Help!😉

hi and a warm welcome to you sorry about your circumstances.lots of meds actually will make you put on some weight but trying to stick to a healthier eating pan will help.are you able to exercise at home maybe get a walking machine or an exercise bike if its possible to use.

[Babygirl20004 in reply to kenster1]

You're right. An exercise bike. I live with my 76 yr old father whom is in better shape than i. Because of the injuries i had, i cannot ride a bike anylonger. I tried suicide by jumping of a bridge onto a freeway below. I broke many bones, in hosp. for 3yrs.

Thank you for your response💚There are sweet people in our world😉! The thing is, i rarely eat, i do like candy though but that's about it. I really don't think i can ride an exercise bike since i can't ride a regular one. But, i have figured 'yoga' might be for me.

If that is a current photo, you don't look overweight.

Go ahead and use the walker if you need to for your exercise. Don't worry about what other people think. I walk with an mp3 player and I tune out the world.

Thank you for your reply sweet guy (or gal?). I'm 6ft in height, so my weight seems too fit my body evenly? I wish i were as u with an MP3 player. Just stay fit sweets!

Hi there

What an unfortunate situation.

Let’s say nothing is impossible yer

Perhaps find some extra support like a councillor who may turn around your thought process,for instance cbt.yer I know cbt doesn’t work but it does.its like let’s say you wanting to walk further well cbt you’ve to work at this also.it can be very beneficial for the mind in helping you change your life around.

I know what you mean about not wanting to use a walker,omg how embarrassing you say at such a young age.

Well you know what you’ve to do ?

Start to push your mind body and soul to the goal you want.

Hmm so let’s say,you write down some achievable goal first of.

Not like oh I want to look like a super model etc.

Small steps,Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Now Here is the harsh bit.

You’ve seen soldiers come back unable to walk but hey guess what they can walk again.I’m sorry if that was a bit harsh,not meant to offend.

Let’s say first of you go to the docs and ask if there are any well-being courses you can take.they help with exercise weight good healthy eating.

It’s all pretty easy to give up eat a pizza and feel like you’ve been defeated by the world and what’s the point.

There is a point and that’s how you want to look and be inside and outside.

Go on start writing down those goals.

Give the doc a call on Monday morning

Most doctors surgeries have a web site now and have like a mental health nurse which i actually used a few weeks ago which was very beneficial.

Wish you all the best

Remember anything worth doing is hard work but will only make you feel longer in the long run

Thank you for your response. I know i should be taking my walker out each day too build strength. I used too be able too walk a few blocks with my walker but no more😔. I have thought about doing Yoga. It woukd be gentle on me. But thank you for your advise, appreciate it!

Hi there again

Just to say,I ive had a new hip,I’ve got 6 bulging discs I fractured my spine when I was 18 and have 3 wedge fractures fused together so my body is kinda loped sided can’t walk all that far

Guess what I put 5 stone also from being on steroids for a not very nice condition and lots of other meds.

I’ve been trying to lose weight and although it’s tough at times I’ve actually managed to lose 2 stone which is 28 pounds in 2 months with not lifting one finger in exercise.

But I do know how easy it is to get in the dwindling circle of eating because one is depressed and then eating because one is depressed regarding ones size and around and around it goes.

Yup it takes some sure will power to break that cycle of the circle but you know what if you want it bad enough you will pull the will power from the deepest part of your belly and bring it to the top.who said life was easy,wow they must have been on some high or different planet hey.

The harder we fall the stronger it makes us.now dust your self of pull your self from the floor,stand tall grab the reins and give it your best shot.To he honest who doesn’t fall at the first hurdle but the thing to remember is get straight up and try again.no matter how many attempts you go every time this will make you stronger and believe it or not make it easier for the second hurdle

I wish you all the best.

Now go girl hit some hurdles and go get some goals.every thing is possible and every possible is doable

I hope I’ve not rambled on two much for the second time

🏃‍♀️

Your more than welcome.

Some times I get criticism for how I say things.ive adhd some said I have no filter on what I say.i tend to say how it is with out offence.

Some times though we need to be told the truth no matter how much it hurts as those words that have been spoken may just make a useful impact on some ones life one day 😬
