I am 66 and diabetic. I have been overweight every day of my life (weighed 10lbs at birth) I dont eat bread, cakes or sweets, I am a vegetarian (hate salad!!!) Since I was 14 I have had arthritis in my spine and hips, and am not very mobile without an electric scooter and a converted motorbike. I went to see a consultant recently about having a metal section fitted in my spine, and he said that before he could do the op I needed to lose 6 stones (I weigh 15 st. 5 lbs) and that I had to take lots of nice brisk walks, go to dancing classes and take keep-fit classes!!!!!!! As I was in his office in a wheelchair, which has to be propelled by a friend, I was both grossly insulted and very humiliated. I am lucky if I am able to leave my house more than twice a week, and then have to use an electricscooter. I have lost weight over the last years, 2 stones, through being unable to eat (I feel sick all the time). Any ideas out there??? I am becoming very depressed.
