Fox's weekly record

totameafox

I am 52 years old.
I was born with multiple hereditary exostoses. Imagine spikes in your muscles and limited mobility in your joints. I have a pretty severe case of it. Arthritis is a side effect. The details are way too long to list. The summery is that my body is always under a constant state of stress. I can't stand for more than 10 minutes without pain. As for exercise, the more i move the more i hurt. So for right now exercising is not part of my plan.
I am diabetic. So I am focusing on getting protein and fiber which for the most part keeps me around 20g of sugar a day or under.
I am 5'2"
starting weight 238.4 lbs
I have learned that I cannot eat 2 salads in one day. my salads are huge. it's amazing (or terrifying) how much greenery you can put in for less than 400 calories (half calories tuna & cheese).
I also went out to eat with my mother twice this week where I at a small breakfast and simply enjoyed whatever I wanted while I was in her company.
The first month is usually easy. I would say this is my fourth attempt at losing weight. At one point of my life i would have been mortified to be over 200 lbs. Now I will be happy to get under that.
