Yup. I struggle to exercise enough to feel fit and healthy. The fatigue makes even getting started hard and the pain afterwards makes then going to work difficult. Since I graduated and moved home it's a lot harder to eat the healthier meals I used to due to family intolerances and preferences which doesn't help

It’s a major struggle for me, but I also have PCOS which causes metabolic issues.

Before I was diagnosed, I went to a specialist and he blamed my pain on my weight. Since losing 12kg my pain has gotten worse, probably due to time rather than much else)

I have put on so much weight in the past couple of years. It has been so difficult to lose any weight because I can hardly walk most days. I can barely cook, so rely on what is easiest and quickest. I started seeing a dietitian who has been helping me a lot, but it's still difficult to shake the weight off when even walking causes you so much pain 😔

Yeah because I'm not very active and sometimes rely on quick meals. Trying to go for more slow walks and eat better when I feel up to it, but it's a slow process.

Absolutely I do.. it sucks I don’t really eat a lot but I feel huge. I don’t eat the absolute best but I see others who eat like pig and lose weight. Drives me nuts.

Yeah I've been on a consistent incline in weight for years but I'm not totally sure if it's related or not

I do... still looking for ways to deal with it. The only exercise I can really do is swimming and I can only do it in the summer
