Have things been so bad that you are resigned to Die Weak?
If so, You’re NOT ALONE.
The latest news or marketing buzz particulars might come and go…. but the problem is real….
Sometimes life hurts. Sometimes it hurts a lot, perhaps for a long long time. While others around us might be going about normal lives, such a life might feel out of reach for some of us, passing us by, week after week, as we live and learn to live with physical disability and the mental and emotional disability that follows.
Sometimes it may seem that all there is left to do, ultimately, is die…. in a weakened shadow of what we might have once been long ago. Photo albums and other reminders might point to some former you that was able to do things. Some silver lining that at least once upon some time we might have had strength of spirit or life but where the future seems hopeless.
While you might have to die (eventually), you don’t have to die weak. We are one community which has had some experience with at least one swath of experience fighting debilitating health issues. Our shared experiences focus on the many facets of Obesity as a hub of quality of life issues. In particular, we share a common interest in the many forms of metabolic interventions — which keep evolving year by year as experts learn more and more — which have been collectively referred to as “weight loss surgery” over the years. interventional methods for weight loss We’re here to offer education, support, and perhaps most of all, hope to one another.
If you suffer from Obesity or related health problems, there IS help.
You don’t have to die weak from…..
Stroke — this leading cause of weakness and paralysis is largely preventable. In particular, obesity and related hyperlipidemia are leading risk factors for having a stroke. Getting a handle on diet and blood risk factors can go a long way to preventing both blood clots (which cause stroke) or weakened blood vessels and liver clotting function which lead to bleeding (as the other form of stroke). Come meet community members with experience with this.

Heart attack — this is a very common form of dying in a weakened state. You can positively intervene to reduce your risk here by lowering your blood pressure and reducing your arteriosclerotic risk. People across the internet who share diet experiences similar to you can offer advice and tips toward both major and minor one-day-at-a-time successes in keeping weight down and winding up at the end of the day with less fat in the diet and more physical activity behind you. Or, if not always quite that, then at least the hope that tomorrow will truly be another day with another full set of opportunities to do good or better.

Arthritis and spinal problems
Carrying around additional weight for many years understandably puts extra pressure on the spine and other weight bearing body parts. This can lead to a variety of degenerative processes including disk herniation and premature arthritis. There is hope. Short of losing excess weight, good posture can reduce risk. Also, becoming more active, perhaps with localized exercises, can strengthen muscle and bone groups in ways that go a long way to protecting against injury.

“Things got so bad for me that one day in 2002 that it finally hit me square in the face: I’d reached a point where I knew that I had either better get busy living or get busy dying. In my case, I chose the first thing, and ObesityHelp was there to help me at every step since then” -- OH member.
