I am way overweight. If all you have are place-downs and attack comments, then don’t read further. Each day, I take 37.5mg Phentermine a prescription diet pill. For my back, 80mg Oxycontin twice daily, for knees 200mg Celebrex twice daily. I’ve had 2 major failed back surgeries leave-taking me with 2 disks degenerated. I can walk approx. 20 feet unassisted, otherwise I am in an electric wheelchair. I also have Rheumatoid Arthritus in both knees not showing improvement with cortizone shots. Every evening sometimes as soon as 15 minutes with dinner, I get a craving for something to munch. I’m not talking about ice cream or stuff like that. It’s usually a bag of pretzels, chips or sometimes a bag of hard candy, anything that is crunchy. I don’t take a few, I eat until I’m stuffed. Then, as soon as the stuffed feeling leaves I’ll find a further bag of something to munch. Please, no lectures, I know I’m stout and that I am slowly killing myself. I need constructive helpful thoughts that I can use
