Health and not Vanity!
As most of you know, I was in a near fatal car accident in 1991 which God miraculously healed me from. Since that time I have many issues with my legs, as they sustained the full impact of the accident and I have metal plates and many screws in my right femur and left hip.
I said all that to say, I have a weight restriction on my legs and I am now overwieght, over my limit by 30 pounds. The weight can be attributed to:
1. dx. hypo-thyroidism [for which I take meds],
2. anxiety related to the many transitions I have experienced this past year,i.e., moving from one state to another, changing churches, renewing family relations with my sisters, living with relatives for the first time in 30+ years, changing jobs, and grief and loss related to friendships and even a love interest that went south.
3. over-eating comfort foods
4. not living by a beach or a pool so I can exercise.
5. Sedentary job and lifestyle.
My request is this...please pray for me that I can get my mind wrapped around losing weight if I have to starve myself. I do not want to have to fall in love to do this as has been my past hx.
I do not know how to be a fat person. I was thin until 40, just slightly overweight from 40-47, and now...teetering on obsese. I can't walk and not cause problems with my hips and legs that would end in surgery.
Please pray for me.
Sincerely, Rhoni
