The Big Body Squad - Channel 5 - 8.00pm

[GoingForGoalWeight]

You watching? :(

I am. And my word it must be a difficult existence being that size.

My daughter insists on watching another channel so will catch it on 5+1

Im not watching it because i wont have anything nice to say.
I am currently on sick with two discs pressing on my spinal cord, making my fingers numb, im clumsy, have cervical spondylosis and constant pain.

Im 36, fit, healthy and most of my problems are as a result of moving obese patients in work. Its not a rare thing anymore, id say 90% of our patients are overweight. Its not fair on the staff that have to care for these people when they get ill

I agree winter, it is difficult having an eating addiction, being weak emotionally and stuffing my great big hole in my face.
I'm reducing my weight this year and it will be a fucking struggle for the rest of my days.

I am over 25 stones and can still go to the shops and buy crap but people whom cannot go to the shops have Carers buy crap for them..that i do niot understand, aiding in their slow suicides.

mosschops I'm so sorry x
Your opinions are really wanted here by me, i really grateful for your post as i'm even more determind to lose weight. Thnank you, i will not be offended no matter what you write, just more determind.

I really, really need to hear everything you really feel. PLEASE

going i wasnt having a dig at you personally, im just feeling a bit low at the moment about work and stuff.
Addiction is a terrible thing, i battled with the fags for years.

moss 100% i know you was not :) x

I feel lucky you are here and hope you can tell me/us how it is. So sorry if i came across as defensive, i really admire you x

To think that most people are overweight in the UK is upsetting. I refuse ti be a statistic in terms of my weight, a burden to my body, life and possible NHS staff......:)

My mum weighed over 36 stone when she died so I have seen all this first hand. Unfortunately it has left me with a distorted view of weight. Some of these people don't look that big to me. I myself am over 20 stone but walk 3 miles a day pushing a double buggy and am constantly on the go and still doing things like fun fair rides etc with my DCs. I think if my weight started to limit my movement I would diet but it doesn't.

My weight does restrict my movement to the extreme. I have PCOS and no back problems, ever yet,,,, i accept my body for what it is, i have to manage this addiction. I hardly walk.

I think the situation u r in is difficult going. My sister weighs 30+ stone and struggles to walk due to back pain and bad knees. She has to dose herself up on strong painkillers to do small things. Because of this she stays in bed. It's a never ending circle. She can't build up her stamina due to pain but won't ever change we situation if she doesn't keep moving.
