So it is a worry and I can't not be well physically and mentally.So I am overhauling my lifestyle.Going vegan and avoiding anything with sugar in it,being very obese it seems is a major risk factor for cancer,stroke,heart disease I need to lose 10 stone in weight cos that is how much fat I am packing.Exercise everyday and eat salads,apparently that is the best anti cancer diet too and as I have been told I have abnormal cells that is what I have to adopt.
I don't know if others here struggle with mental and physical health issues but having both is a tremendous struggle and challenge don't you think?

I've been exercising for 4 months, focusing mostly on weight lifting.
However, overtime I became increasingly tired when exercising, and I don't feel like exercising as before.
Focusing on weight gain has drifted me away from focusing on aerobatics and planning a diet.
I'm going to change my exercise routine so I can take it more easily and work on focusing on a diet and aerobatics.
It's also important to note that I started exercising from the hell pit of depression.
What I'm trying to say is, you may not be able to eat vegan, no sugar and exercise all at once, but you can always do
something to make you a healthier person. I think it's best to start with a diet as you can see from my current experience, with gradual aerobatics overtime. But the diet is the most primary factor to health!
