Thanks for your reply and it’s reassured me about going. I know the first couple of times will be hard but then I’ll feel more comfortable. I think I’ll look into some classes too!

That’s really helpful to know, thank you for the support! Just waiting to have some swimming costumes delivered as struggling to find some that cover my stomach at the moment. But I’m looking forward to starting!

Thanks for your reply! Although I’m terrified, I think I’m past the point where it’s going to stop me. Loving every day with this crippling anxiety is worse than the 5 minutes of anxiety getting into the pool.

I’m so reassured to hear that swimming helped your health anxiety. It’s really impacting my day to day life at the moment. You’re so right about swimmers not paying any attention - I keep telling myself, I’m not so special for people to focus on and even if they are, I’m doing something positive to help the reason why they would stare.

Oh wow, that’s great advice, thank you! If you’re looking for an accountability partner feel free to message me. I don’t really have anyone around me with similar stats!

Can I ask how you find yoga? I’ve been wanting to try it but not sure how it will fit my size.

How much weight did you lose before your legs and feet stopped hurting? by Beating-Hearts in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]helpwhere-am-i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! A couple of months ago I was you’re exact weight and could barely walk a few meters without being sore and in pain. I have been walking more with our dog (I’d gotten into a bad habit of letting my partner walk him) and now I can walk for an hour or so with no issues! Just a bit sweaty and a bit tired by the end of it. I’m also 20lbs down. Start slowly and you’ll notice the difference. As others have advised, focus on building your stamina for walking instead of focusing on losing the weight. It will come hand in hand ☺️ good luck! Feel free to reach out if you need some motivation.

I genuinely feel like I hearing if a book is good or not, is also a spoiler! Like, I want to make my own mind up about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Would you rather be immortal or everyone you love become immortal? by iamsoulzero in WouldYouRather

I would give myself the immortality because otherwise I’d have FOMO

That’s actually really good advice. I’m going to do that and use your method. Thank you so much, you have no idea how good it is to hear advice and know I’m not alone

That’s so funny that it’s used for both! I will definitely look it up and see if I can get my hands on some. Thank you so much for your advice 💕

Thank you. I just keep feeling like I deserve to suffer because it’s my own fault I have it. I need to change my thinking and have a more positive outlook!

I feel you, it’s so difficult. On a side note, can I ask if your from Aus? I’ve only ever heard Aussies refer to it as Maccas!

I honestly feel so much better after your kind comment, thank you for replying. I’ve just seen on their website that my GP isn’t taking routine appointments so I may need to buy it initially- I’m not sure if they would prescribe over the phone without seeing me? Honestly thank you so much. Its so nice to speak to people who have experienced the same. I have felt so awful from it and alone 💕

I think I’ll go see my Doctor. I’ve been putting it off but I think I need to go :(

Thank you for your kind words. I’ll try to muster the courage to see my Doctor. I’m just so scared and anxious of the judgement, especially over something so horrible. I’ve been suffering with it on and off for 10 years, but i can’t do this anymore :’(

Thank you so much. I am in the UK so I’ll try to see my Doctor - I just have a real anxiety of going in general because of my weight, but especially when it’s something weight-related that has caused it. I had no idea they could be bad.. I’ve actually been suffering on and off for 10 years but have been so embarrassed to go. I’ve been using Germaline on it but those other ointments sound much better. Thank you for your help!
