The Vicious Cycle

Dec 07, 2016

I need to change my life for the better.  I must lose all this excess weight.  I am aware it will kill me if I don't stand up and do something.  I'm sick of being miserable and in pain all the time.  I want to be a more active father to my two excellent children.  I want my life back.  I've tried to help myself but I have failed.  I need help.  So, I'm going to actively ask for help, find the right doctors (again), and work towards being a productive, healthy, person again.  I have to overcome these obstacles:

-I can't walk, sit or stand for long periods of time

-I have bad sleep apnea, which keeps me awake,  which lead to congestive heart failure

-my legs are in constant internal (from swelling) and external (from broken blisters and the like) pain.  

-I've become a terrible shut-in.  Haven't left the house in about 6 months.  

-I'm depressed, 575 lbs, and I'm an emotional eater 

 

On the bright side, I have a sense of humor and I am a good father to my children.  I do as much as I can for them.
