trying to get a handle on the way it goes and an introduction

[Paplo]

I'm new here. Can somebody tell me how to join a discussion group without clicking on "New Topic" or "Reply" ? Just wondering because I'm sincerely depressed. I haven't stepped on a scale in years and when I did recently, it was much worse than I thought. I thought the difficulty moving and walking was just old age. There's a massive warehouse store called Ikea that has showrooms but no matter what you want to buy you have to walk the full distance through all the showrooms to get to the cashier at the end. Halfway through, I was sweating profusely and felt like I was going to pass out. I almost called out for an employee to bring me a motorized chair but I couldn't give in to that. So I sat down on one of the displays until I could shake it off and catch my breath. I'm getting up there but I'm not super old. Just turned 69. I still wear jeans and am not the type to play Bingo or dye my hair blue. I realize I need to exercise and control my diet better but I also have insurance for quicker invasive methods. I'm not trying to look young again, I just want to be able to walk and do normal things without feeling like an invalid. My whole life I got so tired of people telling me how skinny I was. I just never thought I'd see the day I would look and feel this bad with the opposite problem. Where to start?

The key is to start in a place that is comfortable for you and do it gradually. Start going for a walk every day - or most days - the length that is within your range. Don't wear yourself out, but still make it a touch challenging. Do that for a while until it seems easy, then add some length or speed to your walk.
With food, start adding a salad here and there. It's not a matter of cutting and making yourself feel deprived, but if you eat a salad before your dinner, you won't need to eat as much of the higher calorie stuff to feel full.

A small start and gradually learning and adding along the way will help you to build the habits you'll keep up. You can do this!
