Hi, I am Michael and I am a retred

doc19822

I have been on the outskirts of the community for awhile, and here I am again. Starting over and starting new. I am a 51 year old man, living in South Carolina. I currently am 6 foot 6 and weigh in at 481 pounds. I have some major health issues going on that are scaring me. I suffer from edemia and all it entails cept for the C.H.F. My heart is strong. I am not a diabetic, not even a hint of it. I just spent another 5 days in the hospital. I was in there just this past May 25 for cellutitus on my legs. This time it was my O2 levels. They could not get them above 89%. I am now on O2 at home, and I am not sure if this is going to be for life or not. So here I am, broken and afraid. But I can not think of a better place to be, than here. Thank you

Hello Michael, I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling at the moment. At least you've made the decision to try to get healthier. I had a heart attack in January 2014 followed 4 weeks later by a stroke. I wasn't particularly overweight but I was a smoker and a drinker. All changed now though. I joined MFP in June of the same year and have managed to lose 33 lbs. I have a small group of lovely friends on here and we offer each other support and encouragement. I could do the same for you, if you'd like? Keep your chin up and good luck. ☺

One day at time and always try to beat your previous day's OUTPUT. You can do it ! Mindset is EVERYTHING ! Use a lot of POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS on U Tube and say outloud each morning or in your car. Program yourself to see your goal and go get it !
