Physical Activity When In Pain

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Toledo, OH

For those that suffer pain while walking or even just standing, what have you found that works to get exercise? I can only walk short distances before I suffer severe pain due to OA in my knees. I am not sure whether or not knee replacement is an option I want

A MyObesityTeam Member

I agree with Barbara. Water type exercises are the best for those that otherwise have pain issues with exercising. Though great for anyone. I live in a 55+ apartment complex and many older seniors… read more

How Do I Stop Emotional Eating?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
St. Louis, MO

I eat when I am bored, I eat when I am tired, I eat when I am frustrated. I am constantly eating for reasons other than hunger. How do I stop? It's like it just slips under my radar and next thing I know, I have polished off a whole pie, or cookies or bag of potato chips.

Write your feelings down. Go for a walk.

Has Anyone Tried Hypnotherapy For Weight-loss

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Johannesburg, ZA

I realise that my inability to lose weight is psychological. I've been through a lot of therapy over the years and we've identified the sources and triggers. But even though I am aware of my triggers and emotional eating and secret eating habits, I just can't seem to get into the mindframe of "now I will only eat clean and healthy", "no more bingeing" etc. The big irony is that I do really enjoy eating healthy, but I also go and eat lots of rubbish.

Does Anyone Else Here Have Arthritis In Their Back And Knees? If So, What Treatments Have Worked For You?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Meridian, MS

I have arthritis in my back that has been treated with injections. I've even had the nerve endings in the L3-L5 region in my back burned and had a cortisol shot in my s1 region. The swelling is gone, but not the pain. My knees have been left untreated. The pain gets unbearable at times, but my doctor only says lose weight. I've told her several times that I'm usually an active person, but pain makes me not want to be active. I need relief. Any suggestions. I've already considered… read more

Have You Ever Been A 🏆 Trophy Girlfriend Or Wife Then Demoted To An Embarrassment Because You Gained Weight?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tallahassee, FL

Meaning that you and your companion started out doing a lot of things together! They would take you out to eat and different places but when you began to gain weight; it started to slow down until it stopped because they were too embarrassed to be seen with you!
