Diet Discussions - View Single Post - Brag Thread: ANY good news & how u did it

dear slinky-any time u take your own health in your hands and loose weight and eat better and exercise.u deserve to brag.i got off medications like lipitor and arthritis pain killers and also was threatened with diabetis medications and also had blood pressure of 150/100.i started out with baby steps.it was hard but i was scared. that was my motivation-to not get sicker and not get on more meds and not not end up in a nursing home too early ( i am a senior).so u hang in there and do what u need to and be happy and proud that u are helping yourself,helping your family to not have to take care of u in poor health. i had this horrid idea of my daughter who is a single mom-transferring me from a wheel chair to the bed or trying to get my probably 300 pound body(that was the rate i was going)into a tub and then getting me back out.she is already stressed in life.that would be the final blow.so be proud of yourself for all your hard work.i have lost 80 pounds since oct.18th-2006.i feel good. i could barely walk with out pain and now i walk 5 miles daily. i should be happy with myself. and happy for God to let me see the error of my ways. take care.
