I am 5 feet 10 and weigh 274 pounds as of this date. I am apple shaped so all of my weight goes to my stomach. People with fat bellies are prone to any malady...kidney stones, diabetes, heart disease, cancer to name a few. Carrying extra weight is hard on my feet. I can stand or walk for only so long. I was thin in my teens, twenties and thirties and started putting on weight in my forties. I am now in my fifties and have been living with extra weight for over 10 years.
I am seeing a nutritionist, writing down the calories, fat and carbohydrate of everything I eat and I swim 4 times a week, usually for an hour. So far I have been beating the odds as far as cholesterol and high blood pressure. What I am trying to do is live with extra weight without hating myself.
