I am having a big crisis, me, besides all my ailments, I also am morbidly obese, I need to loose at least 180lbs. When I write it I feel totally grossed out at myself, that I let myself go so bad, my doctors all want me to have that bariatric surgery, I was even scheduled for it, but then I found out I tore the menicus in my right knee, so I had to have that repaired before I could have the other surgery, because of the exercise plan after surgery. But the surgery on my knee was a disaster I now need a cane to walk some days I can't straighten my leg completely the pain is just the same if not worse,my RA & internest both said I will need a knee replacement but I told them no thanks , I scared to death as to what could happen if I did that, but I digress, Since I was diagnosed 5yrs ago the weight has just kept piling on a little every year,& my husband bless his heart tries to do everything for me & if I ask him to make me something to eat like a sandwich he'll give me 2 with chips, & if I get up to do something my youngest son & my husband jump up & tell me to sit & they'll do it for me. I know its my fault, I'm the one taking their help, no one is forcing me to eat anything & no one but me is keeping me in this bed. I have at 20 month old granddaughter who doesn't know me because my son lives on the top floor & its 20 steps to his front door. He gets mad at me because I don't see her, and it breaks my heart, I just can't seem to get motivated. I can't stand myself and I don't know what to do, well I do, but I thought if I reached out to all of you, maybe it would give me the incentive I need, tough love included. Thanks for listening and I'm looking forward to your support. Peace
