I am a 50 something year old lady who feels more like I'm 90 half the time. Married to my sweet heart for 5 years.
Together we have 5 kids and 5 grand kids.
We love the country life and live on a small farm.
We love the fresh eggs we get and the vegetable gardens we plant each year.
I smoked for 35 years and quit for good, 10/12/07.
Have not put a cigarette anywhere near my mouth since then.
I have different health problems but suppose we all do at some point in our lives. I have fibromyalgia and it can be painful at times.
I have problems with my hands and besides carpel and trigger thumbs, there is plenty of pain.
From my youth up to when I quit smoking I weighed 98 pounds and did everything I could to gain.
When I quit I gained. I now weight 158. My doctor said I need to lose 53 pounds because this extra weight is causing me problems in the digestion area and pushes on my hernias. (I have 4).
With the meds I am on they not only cause me to sweat bad but they also help me gain weight.
I guess I got to the point in my life where I just gave up and stopped caring what I look like. I just feel ugly, fat, and old.
Time to fix me much as I can.
I'm the one in the red shirt. No make-up either. I stopped wearing that too.
