So I have been gained and lost weight my whole life. Started when I was a kid. I lost 50 pounds in 9th grade because a popular kid kept picking on me and I asked him if I lost 50 pounds, would he stopped. he said yes, I lost the weight, and he did. Most of the times when I have lost weight, it morphed into constantly weighing myself, trying to hit a goal, and talking about it. Even when I felt good, I kept going. I lost weight quick every time. I have lost over 200 pounds three times in the last 15 years…
This morning I woke up with some brutal arthritis pain. It’s a cool, super foggy morning here in NH, and the humidity was 100%. All of my aches and pains at 68 are directly related to my blithe and reckless behavior in my teens and twenties. Drag racing on highways, rampant drug and alcohol use, motorcycle accidents, car wrecks, violent fights, the physical abuse I suffered as a child, the absolutely careless way I treated my body, the list goes on.
Today? I wake up and do the exercises recommended by docs and my favorite PT person. I no longer drink or do drugs. Some days I slap on a lidocaine patch, like today. But the great news is I’m actively trying to not make my own symptoms worse. And on days when I feel like a regular human? I certainly appreciate it. Sounds like you’re grateful for what you have. I’m grateful you can share those victories with us.
