I am being too sedentary. Also, I've been eating fewer veggies. That has to change. Sadly, because I am glucose intolerant, I cannot eat fruit or drink fruit juice. GI problems limit the amount of veggies I can eat due to their high fiber content.
The problem is further complicated by my anti-seizure medication which has a side-effect of increasing my appetite. The constant hunger has helped me gain weight and fighting it increases depression. I spoke to my MD about it and his recommendation was exercise to take off the weight. So far, I have not been able to motivate myself to go. I need to change that today. I never speak to anyone at the gym and it is a lonely experience when I go there. I also don't have a gym body. In fact, I have never liked my body much. It's not just the looks, it's also my tendency to get injured. After a while, it's like, why bother?
