[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I choose quality of life for the duration of my life. I don't want to be in my 60s and 70s with limited mobility due to my obesity and poor fitness. So I will step away from the donuts, pizza, bacon cheeseburgers, etc while I'm young so that I can get the most out of my later years. I don't want to be one of those fat grandmas on the rascals at Disney World if I can help it.

Nor do I want my kids on a site like this wondering what kind of vacation they can take me on because I'm so sickly and out of shape. So, short term pain for long term gain. I'm trying to stay healthy now to avoid problems in the future. I have a home ridden morbidly obsese aunt-in law who can't visit her grandkids, that's no quality of life.[/quote]

Well this hits home for me, because I am trying to plan a vacation with my parents whose mobility and health are affected by obesity (I haven't posted about it here). I've seen how their lifestyle choices are affecting them now in their 70s and dealing with diabetes, and I am trying to make healthier choices.[/quote]

NP. My mom isn’t even 70 and I’m so worried. She’s obese. She’s already used a cane. The weight on her ankles has damaged the. She tripped a couple weeks ago. Fell straight forward. I weigh 1/3 of what she does. I was helpless to give her much help as she struggled for a few minutes to get up. Could have been much worse if she broke her wrist, landed in the street, or worse, on my daughter. She loves her granddaughter. It made me so sad last week when she turned us down to go to the arcade and play air hockey with my daughter. She said she couldn’t stand up long enough. [/quote]
