Omg, I am a mess. Not even 31 years old yet and, because of years of smoking and being morbidly obese, I now have a bulging disc in my spine which causes a lot of pain every single day for me. Not only is my back constantly in pain, but now my legs have begun to be affected. The sciatica makes it really hard to even move my left leg when showering, getting dressed, getting in the car, etc. And just a couple days ago my right leg started hurting. I want to cry. I have no motivation to quit smoking or lose the weight I need to lose, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining. It DOES scare me immensely to think I will most likely not live very long, and the life I do have left will be miserable... but I guess it's not enough for me to change the way I'm living. UGH. Just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.
