Need Motivation

Jwoodward213

I am 37 years old and have been sober from alcohol and drugs for 6 years 7 months. Within this time I have accomplished a lot and have also begun to live life on life's terms. One of the struggles I have recognized is weight gain and body change. I am sure it was always happening, but I seemed to cover it up or do a quick fix with alcohol and drugs. I don't have that option anymore. My head is filled with thoughts of I have to go on a diet, or exercise, lose weight, but there seems to be lack of motivation. I need support from other people that are going through this as well. I need to connect with others and start be accountable so I can lose the weight and start feeling good about myself. Another thing that has come up was I was diagnosed with a heart condition "SVT". I was told I could not exercise , then I got clearance last year to exercise because I am doing better. However I still have fears that I may get an attack "SVT" so I am limited of what I can and can't do. Because of my heart condition I can not have caffeine or any stimulants. I can't take any diet pills which I was thinking about doing "The quick fix" so this is why I really need HELP with friends on my fitness pal.
