So, for the first time in my life (44f) i'm committing to loosing weight. I've always been heavy my whole life and at my Junior year in High school i was already 235 lbs. So extra weight has always been the norm for me. In the last few years my health has taken a very bad downward spiral. 10 years ago i could walk a mile or more, now i can barely walk 15 feet without getting winded and unable to move (i stand in place for a few second) to catch my breath.
I need surgery on my leg for my lymphedema, and i'm too fat for it. I broke down and cried multiple times because of this. Old thoughts of harming myself are starting to creep back into my mental health (I fought like hell for 10 years to fight off very bad suicidal thoughts and thoughts of self harm.)
I looked into noom (the app I've seen advertised on TV and social media) and subscribed to it last night to see if it will help me track and keep motivated to loose this weight. I need to get to 250 lbs before they will consider me for surgery. Exercising (like walking, jogging, or other types of leg heavy movements are out of the question due to how bad my leg is) I also suffer from very bad back issues (spinal degeneration and herniated lumbar disks).
Any and all advice (and even tough love is welcomed. I like to be told straight how it is.) Lets do this!
