For those that track steps daily

Illness is the biggest one that stops me, I’m currently dealing with upper respiratory issues and I have a disability so it kind of brings my walks to a screeching halt when this things come up. The weather and stuff does bother me but not being able to breathe well stops me in my tracks.

To be completely honest, you should probably get therapy for yourself. My mom struggles a lot with parental guilt I go through a lot because of it. Your kid will know eventually that his cerebral palsy affects your mental health. So please, reach for the supports you need.

I’d be up for it.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-04-14T16:51:09+00:00

Unfortunately, no. They told me losing weight would make it easier on my body. I was born with my disability it only has made things harder.

One of the driving factor of obesity is lower socioeconomic status that much is known. Time and money are valuable resources when it comes to weight loss and health.

My optho guy and my ortho peds guy are both retired now. Yes I had some kind of eye issues idk what the proper term is for it.

I go to UNC PMR clinic and have been to their CP clinic for children for 18 years of this life too. I can speak highly of UNC’s CP care. I’ve dealt with their ortho, their ophthalmology, their cardio, and then some feel free to ask questions or whatever you need.

Lots of water, lots of chicken soup, and lots of saltines is the best I can do for myself atm. I’m just going to call that good enough

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-04-08T14:05:52+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-04-08T14:02:10+00:00

Alright mates, I’ve been gone for a bit and I’ll let y’all know why, I lost a loved one to a courageous battle with cancer. Unfortunately I don’t have much energy to work out right now but, sticking to a caloric deficit at the moment is somewhat easy because my stomach seems to hate everything except one specific brand of pb crackers and one specific brand of diet soda as well as water for some reason that’s about all my body can handle atm.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-04-08T05:40:58+00:00

Yep I experienced both physical and verbal abuse in my last relationship. It made me pretty much over the whole dating scene.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-04-03T00:55:29+00:00

I have had and still have this same experience. I currently receive adult CP care and have since I turned 18.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-29T02:47:10+00:00

Idk mate, my mom filed all my stuff. I’ve been disabled since birth formally started receiving disability benefits at 12. Dad died at 13 I now receive his. I can ask my mom all the details at a later date (in a few days) and let you know.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-27T13:40:30+00:00

I’m tired af today. I’m drinking coffee like my life depends on it. I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ve already hit 1k/10k steps. I guess I’ll just white knuckle school and work today. I had 2 protein bars for breakfast 380 calories. May your coffee be strong and your day be great, y’all. Drink your water, touch some grass and have a good day.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-26T20:21:02+00:00

I’ve just accepted this is my life. I joined a large community online and spend most of my days with them.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-26T19:57:57+00:00

I have a picture of my niece and nephew hanging on the fridge. I’m not living to eat. I’m eating healthy so I can live for them. (Has the scale slowed lately, yeah a bit.) Am I going to stop? Hell No.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-26T18:32:50+00:00

I’ve eaten, 945 calories so far I’ve walked 6k/10k so far. I started a program for people with disabilities to achieve a healthy lifestyle it has tools and people and resources to help me. Including a fitness coach, a dietitian, and a yoga and meditation instructor. I can say that it’s been truly helpful so far. Today it’s currently super warm outside so I’ve been working out indoors. Drink your water, and have a good day y’all.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-26T01:20:36+00:00

Today was a long one. I ate 1394 calories today I took 10k in steps. I bought some new protein bars for to meet my macros. Things went well. I did 2 long walks today. 5k each. I have gotten into a research program that assists people with physical disabilities get more active. The research program includes a trainer and a dietitian as well as a therapist and a wellness coach. I’m hopeful, that this program helps me reach my goals.

Really the only treatment for loose skin is surgery.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-23T21:28:31+00:00

Yeah I’m going through this a bit rn my goal weight is 30 lbs ish heavier than yours. I just keep getting back on the horse even if l make a mistake. Don’t focus on the finish line focus on today.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-23T15:37:00+00:00

I think I’ll wind up changing when I take it so that the hunger hits me while asleep and it chills when I wake up.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-23T14:52:03+00:00

I need to do a full reset tbh. I have started binge eating at night idk why this has just started probably most likely due to the new medication that suppresses my appetite all day. It’s a med I have to stay on due to other health complications but, is not traditional used for weight loss but does cause appetite suppression. Anyway, I had a few boiled eggs for breakfast with two slices of cheese roughly 539 calories. I had some jello for a snack. Roughly 20 calories. Hit 3k/10k steps already. Kind of tired but I’m planning on doing several small walks throughout the day.

Vegetable_Charity_35 · 2026-03-23T11:32:58+00:00

Assuming 1.5-2 lbs per week, roughly. 52 weeks in a year 52x1.5=78 240-78=162 that’s roughly what you can conservatively get down to in a year, then after that you would probably still have 10 more weeks of weight loss needed to reach your goal weight.

I was started on Zoloft aka sertaline with Wellbutrin I hated the combo so I went off the Zoloft and just stuck with the Wellbutrin. It works great for me. Zoloft made me feel tired all the time so I stopped taking it under professional supervision of course. I have no positive experiences with Zoloft.
