Luppychick! losing weight has been so hard for me because I am in pain and can't walk like I use to. I usually don't eat much either. I would have to starve myself to lose these extra 60 lbs. and I like to eat. If you can move and do things I am sure you can lose the weight you want!! Plus since my husband passed away my walking and exercise pal isn't here so we could motivate eachother. He would not like to walk with me now because I am much slower too.have a great week!!! hugs!! June.
hi my name is astrid, noone really understands lupus unless they they are in your shoes, i certainly do, or they have a similar autoimmune disease, i have several other things wrong with me too but i also refuse to let them beat me, i have a little yorkie dog and i also like to go swiming. the weight is a pain because of going up and down on steroids and other drugs, but i try not to let it make me too depressed getting stabler is more important, weight is important too but dont let it drag you down, i use to do loads of dancing before i got ill, i use to teach latin american and ballroom and ballet, plus modern, it took me a while to accept my limitations and that that would not be happening again, now i walk with a frame on wheels sometimes when im really bad im in the wheelchair, i just have to accept this is what has what has been mapped out unfortunately, i wish it hadnt, so i make the best of a bad situation. i love my dog and have some good mates and a husband and love the messages i get on here it would be great it we could keep in touch, take care astrid40xoxo please add as friend
