Over 300lbs and need help

[HerRoyalStressHead]

I'm 307.7lbs, 139kg, or 21st 13.7lbs

I NEED to lose weight. I KNOW it's eat less move more but I'm a powerchair user and find it difficult to move due to my conditions. I have
● Hypermobile Ehlers danlos syndrome
● POTS
● Fibro
● De quervains tenosynovitis
● Subrapubic disfunction which never rectified
● Neuropathy causing numbness of the right leg
● Autism
● Depression
● Anxiety
● Schizophrenia
● PTSD

But despite all of that I'm aware I need to change. I can walk a few wobbly steps so I'm planning on doing that as often as possible throughout the day.
My focus is going to be on reducing calories though. This is my only option. I have to restrict what I'm eating and as I'm not mobile I can't eat like I did before the disabilities worsened and I was 10st.
I remember getting to 69kg and thinking I was fat. I was not fat. I wish I was 69kg again.

I don't have a lot of support. I don't have a lot of real life friends, and those I do have live far away. So I'm turning to MN for help. Please help me. I don't know what else to do or where else to turn to.

My mum tries to support me, I know she does. But the more she mentions my weight the more I comfort eat. She's convinced if I lose weight I'll be able to walk again. But I lost the ability to walk BEFORE I gained the weight. I'm not disabled because I'm fat
I'm fat because I'm disabled.
But mum is so desperate to have me back walking she doesn't seem to realise how her comments affect me mentally. Her saying "you'll be able to walk again" really upsets me because I couldn't walk before. She's expecting me to be like a teenager again and I'm 33 it's just not possible. I'll never look like that again and never be that mobile again.

Given all of your issues I would say it will be very difficult for you to lose weight alone. Have you thought about weight loss injections? You would definitely meet the criteria. And I would speak to your GP about getting a referral to an endocrinologist. That is if the gp won’t prescribe them and they probably won’t. But I would think an endocrinologist would prescribe them.

If you don’t think your gp would be helpful you could try to get them privately but I really think proper medical supervision would be important for you with all of your other issues.

Thank you
I asked the GP for a referral back in June. He said hew would then never did. When I tried to chase it up a different GP said they wouldn't do the referral for me. So I just kinda gave up hope to be honest.

I've eds and pots and lost over a stone this year with intermittent fasting and lowering calories. I don't do exercise at all , so the weight came off slowly, a pound or two a week but I still lost it. Weight loss is mainly diet .

You can so do this with Keto. I lost five stone and didn’t do a drop of exercise.

Thank you

I'd struggle with keto I think as I love carbs but I'll definitely look into it more than a brief glance

I'm also disabled and cannot exercise. I also put on weight when I became disabled.
I also was alarmed at how little calories I needed to just maintain (being short and not exercising). You need to do a calorie calculator.
I never weighed myself but went from a size 14/16 to a small 6. I've maintained for over a year. I've done it by intermittent fasting and calorie counting (I still do both today). I started calorie counting first and got used to the reduced calories before adding in IF (dont try too many changes at once).I had no support, didn't tell anyone I was doing it and eat lots of carbohydrates. I found by eating later (after the first 5 days) I'm not as hungry, as soon as I start eating I want more. Also not eating after my evening meal means I'm not snacking. I still eat cake, celebrate my kids birthdays etc but make sure my weekly calories balance.
I also can understand re your mum, my mum also says things like when your better/when you can drive again (tomorrow will be 10 years disabled I don't think there's a miracle going to happen soon). I try to block it out, change subject and never answer to these comments.
Good luck.

Thank you, I'm exactly the same, once j start eating it's like the floodgates open and I want more. Before that I'm fine.
