I have type 2 diabetes and weight 294 lbs. I live by myself in a seniors apt. building where I have my own apt.I prepare my own meals and eat alone.I do not take any medication for my diabetes.My sugar remains at about 8.5 and I test it approximately once every two weeks.I lead a very lazy and inactive life with only short walks daily.I cannot walk further than two city blocks without sitting down. I require the use of a cane to keep me from drifting when I walk.I suffer from severe back pain caused in part from two damaged vertibray and a deteriating disk.
When I was in good shape at age 30-35 my weight stayed at about 170lbs.
I like to wear good clothes and dress smartly but with this weight I am forced to Big and tall stores which do not fit me well at all.Their styles are boring to say the least.I cannot wear good style shoes because I cannot tie the laces.
I need to lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) to improve my ability to socalize and improve my chances for a happier lifestyle.
sincerely
Bob
