Rjv531's Journal, 02 Jun 24

Welcome to FatSecret! I've been here since about 2017 or 18 and run about the same weight range as you are in, and am now on my way back down after going from 117 when our beautiful daughter died of cancer and I went up to around 135. The older we get the harder it is to lose. At 82 I am pretty sedentary due to a bad back. One would think I'd grow out of vanity by this age, but no, I'd rather be a size 4 than a 12 at only 5' tall since I have lost almost 4" in height. I saw you on Debbie Cousin's journal, and love her dearly, She is a pastor's wife and she and her church have prayed for me over the years. I live with an abusive husband who is not well so needs me. It's too late for me to move or start over with my bad back, and now heart trouble. He hasn't hit me in almost 10 months, and the Lord carries me. I haven't been journaling much since several people have been quite critical, feeling I just like to complain. They believe if I don't change my circumstance don't talk about it anymore. But some people talk about their weight but don't change it. Am I worse? I'm sorry if I'm scaring you off: most people here are supportive. Welcome again.  

Oh no! Not scared off, here to support you. Your situation is tough but I am a believer in putting yourself first and we can make changes at any age. Hang in there and vent as much as you want! 

It was chemo day for hubby so I am afraid to weigh tomorrow as I ate like it was my last meal. Glad to see you posting!
