Obesity Comorbidities
Obesity can put people at risk of developing various other medical conditions. These conditions are known as comorbidities.
Do you live with any comorbidities? If so, what are they and how do they impact your life?
I believe going on nights for 8 years, at the age of 35, started my weight gain.
I had BP issues at the age of 38. When I was 60, I was diagnosed with Hyperparathyroid. Last year, I was diagnosed with vein insufficientcies, lymph & lipedema.
I can see how working nights might lead to weight gain. Were you able to get enough sleep during the day? Do you feel like your other health conditions are under control? That's a lot to contend with. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)

Hi
. Most YMCAs offer financial assistance based on your income. It might be worthwhile to at least check it out. You'll likely meet others there who are in similar situations and can empathize. - Lori (Team Member) I sure will, then! Thanks for the encouragement!
Peripheral Artery Disease, Parkinson's
Hi
. Thanks for joining the conversation! That is a lot to contend with. Are you on a good treatment plan for both conditions? Have you been diagnosed with Parkinson's long? Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
Migraine headaches, parathyroid and hypothyroidism, plantar fasciitis and tarsal tunnel syndrome. Plain old laziness. Degenerative disc disease resulting in 2 surgeries so far. And plain old "I can't want to exercise" syndrome.
diuretics and seeing my breakfast again seems to have helped a lot. I will take the diuretics any day over vomiting.
Thanks for recommending the ear plugs. Do you know where I can some kid sized ones.
I actually use silicone swimmers puty for many things that require cutting noise out for my daughter and myself. the mold to your ear and don't hurt, my ears. My daughter is only 11 and she uses it regularly. Sewing is such a wonderful hobby.
Do you have a set breakfast that you have? If you do, would you mind sharing, I am always looking for good breakfast ideas.
