To ask how often you feel ‘well’

[Merryoldgoat]

Full disclosure: I’m fat, unfit, two children with ASD and both DH and I have full on jobs.

I’m constantly tired, never feel ‘well’ and have been ill nearly constantly since October - I’m on my third chest infection since then.

I have a CPAP which has helped the tiredness but I still feel ‘bad’ most of the time.

I am losing weight and improving my diet but it’s a long road.

Am I not going to feel good until I’ve lost loads of weight? Or are there some things I’m missing?

I’m so worn down. I was really positive at the start of the year - was doing Yoga which sorted my sciatica and lost 21lb since Nov but then I got unwell a week ago and I feel like I’m back to square 1.

I felt unwell for a few days over Christmas, first time since covid March 2020. I usually feel well.

Find yourself a good podcast as you say and set some targets for some walks every day. You’ll 100% feel better for it

Getting to the gym, using the equipment, getting changed, showered etc and coming home takes a couple of hours

Not always.
I use a local council gym, change at home, a 4 minute drive, shower at home.
45 minutes a day.

I know what you mean. I try really hard to be healthy but I still don’t always feel well, even when I am not ill. A good night’s sleep helps, but I am often exhausted and cold. I have had a lot of tests, and nothing has been found. Am 48, so maybe this is what being old-ish feels like?!

The reality is I can’t fit the gym in enough for it to be useful. The boys need too much from us right now.

But I can definitely get back on my yoga and do more walking.
