Working on it

I was always underweight up until my middle 30's when due to a wife who suffered from severe depression ended up being diagnosed with Dysthymia (who says depression cannot be spread like a virus).  I took solace in food and unfortunately food has been my lover, best friend and has never let me down.  I finally got into a program at the VA that helps overweight Vets so am doing that and trying to get down to 200 pounds.  It is a struggle due to health problems, nerve damage in left leg, no cartidge in left knee (they say I am too young for a replacement) so have trouble walking any distance, riding bicycles also is out since it hurts my knee and I have to over compensate with my right leg which causes its own set of problems.  Well I am working on losing.
