Grrrr ! Frustration

[Opalibra]

Hi,

I am 69 years. I have been a Midwife prior to retirement which doesn't really suit me, I love to care but somehow cannot care about myself, now I have the time I don't know - how to ? For me I procrastinate ! My last 20 years I thought would be mine were not therefore I want the next 20 years to be mine- for sure !! I have given myself till my next birthday to be the best of me I can be, I am prepared to do all I can to achieve this, but it is a very lonely place, I would love company. I have given me a problem, as I have grown over-weight in the last three years I have refused to buy myself appropriate clothes to go to social places or partake in hobbies I enjoy - because I am not worthy, I do not deserve them therefore not having appropriate clothes I cannot go out to meet people, so I remain alone which is foreign to me as I am a people-person. I have no photo, I will not allow my picture to be taken. Grrr !

Welcome to our little forum. It is a quiet forum on here but we are supportive. We also have our walking for health forum and couch to 5km forum which is a lot busier. How do you want to start you new life? On the walking for health forum we have a beginners walking group which is very inclusive and you can go at your own pace. Here we are about to start a stretching challenge and there is also the Stregnth and flex podcasts which are a great foundation for fitness.

Thank-you Administrator, At present I have started going to the gym for an hour a day Mon. to Frid. I have been given a 'circuit' which I repeat x 5 with great variation. It takes me approx. the hour. I am not sure how long it will be till this is changed but it is proving great resulting in me feeling 'looser and fitter'. I have a long way to go I know, I would certainly be interested in the Strength and Flex., it is the suppleness I miss the most but I do feel NOW it is certainly possible!
