in response to nancy's story,
nancy i am so sorry i did not hear your need for help and support. i have
been off the list for awhile and am hoping for my own sake that i was not
signed on and that is why i didn't respond. but that is selfish, in itself.
i suffer from continued weight gain over the last 5-6 years. alot of it is
depression and alot is overeating or rather emotional eating. but i was a
very active person, physically before my dx, so i attribute alot of my
continuous weight gain from the lack of excercise. i can understand your own
frustration, but feel there must be things you can do, to improve your
health. i am becoming a strong believer that our sizes does not reveal our
true selves, so i try to eat right and walk when i can and soon will be able
to swim with summer approaching. it sounds as if you have a full schedule,
much more than i can handle, i have no real suggestions of what you can do,
but offer my support and listening ear when you need it. i am also looking
over overeater's anonymous online and get a tremendous amount of support and
knowledge from this group. i am not active in the "steps", but their way of
thinking is so positive, you cannot leave there without being inspired.
with love~vicki
