Hey there,
Don't let others make you feel bad about doing something for you. I understand the guilt from others but have decided that it's my body. I watched my mother hurt every time she took a step or got up and down - for so many years. I know that she would have enjoyed life so much more if she just would have felt better. So, because of her love for me, I know she would want me to be without pain. I lost her when she was only 58 - your age exactly - so young!! Now here I am staring 50 right in the face (next month) and I don't want to die like she did - in constant pain.
My doctor feels that losing the weight (291) would give me the jump start to helping me feel like moving again. I have my initial appointment in a little more than a week. I hope everything goes smooth. If you need any encouragement, just give me a post and we will chat some more.
God has blessed me with this life - it's my responsibility to make the best of it!!
Blessings,
Jaleena in NC
