Should the morbidly obese ------

When I saw my doctor recently he actually told me that people that are
overweight are less prone to osteoporosis and fragile bones as their size
compensates and you have very strong bones. Not sure how true this is
though. He told me this when I told him that I was concerned about not
consuming enough calcium and my body aching.

Hah that is funny. but alas this is one case where I would take the High

anyday at all. it is simply not healthy being 365 pounds.

not healthy at all. scares me in fact. I walk with paranoia knowing that
one
wrong step and my mass could snap my ankly like a twig. I am amazed I have
not broken a bone yet.

the few times I do "fall or trip" is actually quite funny. I very activily
"give into" the fall just to prevent putting any undue pressure on the
smaller joints (ankles wrists) for fear of breaking them.

I did some basic figuring on just JOGGING. wow. nearly half a ton of force
on EACH ankle EACH step. Very scary indeed.

That is why for now I am limiting myself to bike riding. low impact on the
joints but man if I fall. 365 pounds hitting the asphalt will likely
result
in a lot more problems than road rash. :-( Plus bike riding is dual
purpose.
I lose weight and get fit (too slow to be useful to my "confidence") but
also semi efective transportation. I plan to dual purpose it. I LOVE going
to the movies. their is a theatre that I would guess is "roughly" 1-1.5
hours a way by bike. (12 minutes by car but most uphill) figure I can ride
to theatre. See a movie and then ride home.

I get excercise and immediate reward at the same time. Now I just have to
work up to being able toride that far. :-)

when life is beating me up and trying to make me
sad I fight back by trying to find some humor in
the picture. never fixes the problem but makes
it somewhat easier to make my way through the beating.

but alas this is one case where I would take the High Gas

I peaked out at 245 pounds and at 6'1" I looked like a fatso
and felt like a fatso. I did not like that. I sought help
in learning how to eat proper. I changed my life style and
the high sugar content items were placed off limits to me.
it was rough though. every time I went into a store where
hershey bars were sold I'd hear them calling Jim Jim Jim Jim
Jim Jim JIM! I'd have to get out of the store before the
sounds of all that would get out of my head.

maybe, you have good strong bones.

sometimes I lose my balance and fall. friends have learned not
to help me back up because I'd rather do it for myself. they can
laugh and I'll laugh with them as long as they allow me to get back
up by myself.

math can be fun.

I finally got me a bicycle, a ten speed I've only had one wreck
so far. I tried to peddle up a hill in to high of a gear and when I
stood up so I could apply more pressure on the peddle, the peddle broke
off. it all happened so quickly, it was like one second I was on my
new bike and the next second I was in the ditch beside the road. hurt
my pride more than anything else since a good looking girl saw and then
stopped to ask if I was OK.

Chris, it sounds to me as if you have found something
you want to do and with that, I wish for you every
possible success in obtaining your desire.

what is SSFA ?

Is misc.fitness.weights a newsgroup ?

It's like this: you can go to support.fat-acceptance or the like and
get support to remain what you are so you can keep feeling like ****
but feel good about it.

Or you can go to misc.fitness.weights and get help with getting the
information on how to stop feeling like **** and feel good about it.

I recommed the latter.


(I will probably answer that before
you reply but figured to ask just in case I dead end.

Good luck with your program- leave the SSFA types behind and follow

FAT chance!
Women like you turned me down in high school and made me look bad.
Because I couldn't get laid I had to settle for handjobs from my
mother. And I had to pay for the lotion.

If you're willing to help me get laid with a real woman, then I'll
stop fat bashing.

Deal?

That is incredible force on a body. As you can now see, that is why you
don't see many obese people running and jogging. One thing I might
suggest is adding some walking each day. It is a great exercise to start
off with as it doesn't cost much and you can taylor your path to your
surroundings. That hill would be great as a start. If you have to --
drive to it for right now. Just walk up and back down the hill at a pace
comfortable to you, or go as far as you can. Do that for a few weeks and
your strength will start to show.
Then you can add distance.

You might want to think about a walking stick. They absorb a lot of that
force and give you more balance as three things on the ground are better
than two. If you start to lose your balance you can often catch yourself
before you have to strike the ground.

Drive to the hill. Walk up and watch your movie. Walking down will still
strain your thighs a bit (depending on the incline) and yet will not tax
your heart till you get a bit stronger.

Every step counts.

With that amount of weight you might not see results right away
physically, but you will notice them bodily as you get stronger.
