I can’t jog now @Former-Member ....the continued weight gain took me into a zone where I am likely to damage my knees, which are already complaining, especially on hills and stairs .... and met.bol.synd fat stores are metabolically active, newer research has shown, which makes it weigh much heavy than you would expect, so I am far heavier than I look, and I look big.
You encountered a far more acute situation to the one we have @Former-Member, and my self care had gone out the window with the level of chaos and damage control we were faced with. I am not at all surprised you haven’t been able to focus much attention on your own well-being. It wasn’t until panic attacks began to occur for me that I realised I was crossing a line. I believe the health issues that surfaced a couple of months ago now were another warning, and while they have diminished, they are still present, continuing to warn.
I pt is so good to hear that you are getting into the garden, I swear there is something healing in damp earth .....
I don’t particularly enjoy walking our dog either, but I felt sorry for him being purchased, and then not walked by mr, cos he lost patience for the dog, and in walking him I have grown an endearment for him, despite not being a dog-lover per se. He has taught me to appreciate dogs, and I talk to other people’s dogs in the street now ..... thankfully my family haven’t had me committed for that .....
Food is one of my primary self-care vehicles now. I focus very much on the nurturing aspect of what I put into my mouth, as far as I am able to. And I walk to listen to music.
