Not a very enticing title, I apologise! I am about to hit 39, and have a genetic condition affecting my joints which means I can't exercise (actually a lot of the time I can't walk) Even swimming/low impact stuff is a no-go because my ribs slip out of place.

I'm about to wave goodbye to 12 and a half stone as I sail merrily onwards back towards 13 and it has to stop. I really struggle to control weight by food alone, since I can't use exercise. I swing from thinking "I don't care what I look like it's other people's problem" to "Oh my goodness look at the size of me"

On top of which at certain "times" I get uncontrollable hunger. Which sounds like a cop out but it isn't.

So......... I really hope this works or at least helps. I've been trying for years and I feel like I'm trying to climb a mountain but falling back every time.
