What would you like to change about your daily life?

Well. I would love to eliminate the chronic pain I have in my knees from surgeries... but a symptom of obesity that bothers me is just the fatigue and low energy levels I have. I feel like my confidence has also dwindled a lot. I am not as confident in myself as I used to be. 

I would love to be able to have confidence in myself and not care or think about what other people think of me.

@becomingbetter I have joint pain too, it's really debilitating. I guess for me it would be that, because I feel like i'm in a never-ending cycle. My knees hurt because of my weight, but because of my joint pain I can't really exercise. It's really frustrating. I feel like if that went away I could get a better handle on my weight and diabetes.

I wish there was less stigma out there about bigger people. I know with the body positive movement there's been a lot of progress, but I still get nasty looks from people when I go to the grocery store or sit down in the waiting area at my doctor's office. I wish that would change.

I really need to find ways to feel motivated to get up and move. I know that when I don't move it's because I am feeling bad about myself; low energy depressed, tired etc. I also know that if I can find the motivation to start I will feel better and therein lies the problem for me, Is it depression? Is it obesity? Is it related to changes in my BS?

Eating Habits, and Laziness

Hello everyone,

living with obesity can affect many parts of daily life, and sometimes there are small or big things we wish could feel easier, lighter, or more manageable.
