    Yeah ex Army on veterans pension physical and ptsd. Family took off when times got hard for me. Didn’t know what was going on, so rather than help she took my kids and everything. So been alone many yrs got my service dog he takes care of me. So started eating or trying to better no more one microwave meal and 10 coffee and 2 Big sugars and 25 smokes. So now metabolism slowly starting back as 2 Ltr water or more smoking about 12 a day and trying to go for walks more. But still having trouble reaching calories but weight dropping maybe a bit fast. As was always fully on the go training and all the full on scuba para unarmed combat the rest. Then all stopped didn’t Leave house other than Drs. So had a visitor first one in 2yrs for 1/2 hr last week. As Kids well daughter tried but in NZ with hubby having 3 grandkid. But son 22 and not working Mum treated him ridiculous always loved me. But have so much to teach and give. But she must told him some crap so he stays at her place they all sit around non work but buying house all the nice stuff. So values are non, but I guess ex doesn’t want me telling him about real life and how you got to work hard and experience life. So that’s me. Trying hard each day to stay as positive as can but gets hard, especially when my dog doesn’t talk back lol. But he listens to me, so try to keep the old values that seem to not be around anymore. Guess old school of hard knocks. Good to see some Aussie spirt staying together. Cheers.

    Yeah! More of us!

    trooper230, cheers for your service, mate. Can't imagine what PTSD must be like, let alone some of the family strife it sounds like you've been through, but welcome aboard. Congrats on the cutting back of the cigs, too - that's a very tough gig, but with the the progress you've made already, I'm sure you can get even lower, heck, maybe even put them away for good one day.

    Hopefully the community here can help make at least the physical health aspect of your situation a bit easier. So far, most everyone I've encountered on here is positive and supportive.

    Feel free to add me as a friend on here, mate! And that goes for anyone else on here if they want to as well! :smile:
