Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I am 5'4 " tall and weigh 178. That's down from 188 and I used to be 135. I'm 41 years old. My family is filled with food addiction and many in my family are morbidly obese. My mother was probably 350 at one point and couldn't breathe anymore. My nephew is now probaby 500 lbs and has chronic infections in his leg. I'm desperately working to not be in that club. I may not be morbidly obese but I'm certainly overweight and heading to morbidly obese. So that's why I walk and why I'm watching what I eat. I agree with the one person who said, it doesn't matter what size folks are, it's about being here to talk about being healthy. I do my best not to focus on the weight thing since that can be incredibly obsessive. Instead, I do my best to focus on the eating healthy and getting enough exercise. 'Cause if I don't, I'm heading to hospital bed with a respirator tube in my month just like my mother was about a year ago. That was a horrible situation to see. , DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
