Hi everyone. This is a tough subject for people. I'll start. I'm obese. Forty pounds ago, I couldn't walk for more than 5 minutes at a time. Someone had to grocery shop for me. Well my partner.
I didn't go places. I felt bad. I couldn't fly to see my family unless I bought 2 tickets.
And even though I'm lighter now and things have improved, I still have a long ways to go. I feel lonely because I can't join the hiking club. I used to love to hike. I'm unable to take the photography class because they go on an outdoor trip. If I could do these things then I could meet people.
Sometimes I am self-conscious and feel nervous about my weight. I get down on myself and let that stop me from doing things. But I'm a lot better about it now. I just went to my first meet up last Friday.
If you are obese and feel like it affects you and adds to your loneliness, please reply. I would love to hear from you.
