Quote From: petnutHi,
My names janice. I too have MS,,,since '99 & have always had weight issues. I lose, gain, lose, gain, you know,,,,,yo-yo'ing. I'm about 40 lbs overweight. The MS does limit us doesn't it? I can still walk a little, not enough to constitute being called excercise. It's depressing to not be able to excercise like I need to and want to. So, having to sit more than I want to-I nibble. BUT, I nibble when I'm depressed, when I'm happy-it doesn't matter. I try to control my snacking. I just this week decided to try-slowly-cutting out my snacking. I have a 28 year old son, daughter-in-law & a beautiful grand-daughter who I want to be proud of me. If I'm gonna have to deal with the MS, I don't want my family to see a fat 'MS'ER', but an 'MS'ER' who can still take care of herself. And it's hard to do. If you want to, my e-mail address is rjsamuels@ctc.net. Good Luck & best wishes!
Hi, my name is Ruth, I have had MS since 1978. I have had trouble with my weight also. I have been having better luck after taking probiotics, and doing stretching exercises. I have the nibbles much of the time. It doesn't help that my family is all slobs, and don't want to help out with at least picking up around here. Being housebound most of the time is the pits! Sorry to dump on ya!
