I've ballooned, I was slim into my mid/late 20s, toned with 6-pack, with zero effort. Since then I've made excuses as my weights gone up-and-up, I'm 6ft and was 95kg three years ago. DP bought me some scales last week, and insisted I get on them today (she's a type 1 diabetic since birth and scared type 2 is in my future), 118kg. I track my heart-rate and blood pressure daily as there's a history in the family of high-rates in males. It was also suggested I suffered a silent heart-attack three weeks ago.

I've downloaded one of the tracking apps today so I can develop a picture to take to the GP over a month or so.

I've an undiagnosed eating disorder and I often go several days without eating and then binge chocolate, cake, cookies. Not a big drinker, maybe a couple of bottles of beer/cider a week.

I've numerous physical, and psychological, dx that render my using a wheelchair, bed-limited and very sedentary, so not sure how I'm going to do this. It's highly likely I'll wind up diabetic with a heart condition if something doesn't change.
