New (since 2012)

Hey y'all. My name is Brenda, and I am from Melder, Louisiana. I have been a member of MFP since 2012 and have been struggling since then. I get motivated, do well, then….I go overboard. It always starts with something like a "special night out" or gathering with food and sweets. Then I say I will start over again tomorrow. I don't, because there are leftovers that HAVE to be eaten.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in late 2021. My energy level is in the toilet, and I hurt all the time, so exercise and walking are a challenge. Twice a year I have an infusion which included a good dose of steroids which cause me to gain MORE weight. When I went to the doctor last week, I found out that I am up to 285 pounds! I was talking to my dad, who is 83 and he said that I better get going and work on my health because he doesn't want to outlive me! So, I am back again logging my meals. Any exercise I do get I don't log, because I don't want the system to add those calories back into my allowance. If you are looking for more friends, send me a request. Most of the ones I currently have are not active.
