Being Fat Sucks…
…being fat and older and moving sucks more! From a pinched nerve in my neck to sore arms…a hurting lower back…knees…feet…and covered in bruises. My body is killing me…and I know the biggest part of that is my being over weight…obese. I just wanted to cry at points cause it was just painful…and Ive done it to myself. Pretty sad too that Im not capable of more before I just want to collapse like a 100 year old woman or something. It was another eye opener. Of course my stubborn is the only thing that kept me going. I had thoughts of just leaving all this crap…of it not being worth it because I just didn’t want to do anymore…and this isn’t even the move yet! Oh and I think Im getting arthritis??? My hands…fingers have really been hurting the last several weeks to a month.
Well, I recovered from my mid-week gain but no loss for the week because of it. I feel more on track even tho I am no where near where I need to be. Im at least heading in the right direction. I have left my Isle of Denial but seem caught up in the breaking waves…have not quite broken through them yet.
I keep thinking Im going to get walks in…Im just too spent from all this packing…moving boxes…up and down steps. I just need to focus on better food choices…eating when hungry…stopping when full an getting more water in. I keep drinking tea (unsweetened) all day. I love my water but just have not been.
My daughter just put one of those Icy Hot patches on my neck…I got goose bumps at first and now its BURNING like CrAzY!!! HOLY MOLY! I don’t know if I can handle this…my instinct is to pull that puppy off…don’t know if it will ease up…man, Im a big sissy or it really burns…Haha!
OK…gotta scoot. I slept in til 10:30ish and just finished breakfast (wheat bran flakes and strawberries). Got much to do again today but should be able to check in more if satellite allows it. Have a WONDERFUL Saturday buddies!!

(((((Debbie))))) Great job trying to make healthy choices and staying positive during this crazy time. We are always here for you hon!!
Don’t worry too much about the walks right now. Everything you are doing IS a workout. Just concentrate on eating right. You DO need that water now, though. It will help your body out. Good luck and big hugs! BTW…I hate icyhot!
Thanks ladies
The burn has eases some to where I can stand it now…I was desperate for some pain relief
My internet is flaking out on me…its bumped me off here about 3 times already. Gonna head off and come back later this afternoon to read blogs…was hoping to do some reading now but it already screwed me up on the first one…grrrr!
Yes, your right, being fat does suck, thats why we have to work on doing something about it. However, I think moving in itself is enough workout for now lol. Been there, done that so I wouldnt worry about walks til later unless your just raring to go on one lol.
Shakes head at internet problems…aww frustrations.
Moving sucks…don’t be too hard on yourself.
Just think, when the move is over, you will be ready for a real “fresh start” and you can do amazing things. Hang in there!
I just recently moved myself, so I know just how much work it is. You’re doing great by focusing on healthy food choices.
I’m right with you on the water. I’m great about getting it in…until I have one Diet Coke and then it’s all over!
I used to be a Diet Coke JUNKIE! From morning til night time…esp if I could get them as fountain drinks…so much better than in the can. I drink maybe one or two a year now…just dont want them…I had to stop.
Thanks for the comments buddies!!
You can do this. take one step at the time.
Get your move over first. Then let this be a milestone for you. KNOW you don’t ever have to feel this old and fat and sore again. This is the point I was at, I changed it, and you can, too.
