I've been fat most of my life. In fact I can only remember a couple of years back when I was in my early 30's when I didn't consider myself fat. At that time I weighed around 215 pounds. Today at age 53 and 6' tall I weigh an amazing 356 pounds (BMI of 48.2)! That places me right in the extremely obese category. That's also MORBIDLY OBESE. What a nice way to look at it...don't you think?
For the last several years I have really packed on the pounds. I use to hover around 260 to 280 and although overweight and still obese, I didn't really feel all that bad. Now I have difficulty walking (on flat surfaces) without getting winded, trouble sleeping comfortably and when I walk into a room I look for a seat that will; a) support me, b) I can fit into, and c) will be able to get out of. Is this anyway to live? I don't think so, and I'm not going to do it much longer -- I have to fix my weight problem, or it will get fixed by itself...through death eventually.
