Quote From: pllwtlkI can so relate to Jill's feelings of embarrassment about undressing in front of her husband. People don't seem to understand how overweight people feel about how they look. Not all I'm sure. but most. My weight has affected my outlook on life and what I am and am not capable of. It keeps me from feeling lovable or attractive. Unfortunately, I've had to have a knee replaced not long ago and have not been able to be extremely mobile because of it. Therefore, the weight goes on and on. I don't feel I'm worthy of holding a job other than warehouse work. I don't know what to do about it other than what I'm already doing which is trying to be aware of everything I put in my mouth. Any ideas? I welcome all. Thank you, Linda Hi Linda, I'm so sorry you're in so much pain and feel sad. Has your doctor recommended any physical therapy for your knee? You have a brand new knee, at some point you're going to have to get moving to get it working properly. This is your second chance which is really fantastic. Not everyone gets that. You're worthy of holding any job, doesn't matter your weight. I'm sure you're focused on it much more than others anyway. Talk to your docto see when you can start some rehabilitation. Try not to focuse on food, instead focuse on your health. Read food labels for calorie counts. Stick to 1500 a day. Even without exercise you'll lose weight over time. I'm 48 and still small. My mom is too, she's 70. I talked her into weight bearing exercises and she lost about 30lbs and looks great at 130lbs. Doesn't matter hold old you are it's never too late. Best of luck to you. Get motivated. You CAN do it.
