My wanting to lose weight is not exactly cancer related but if I ate more healthily and exercised more I would lose a couple of kilos . Then I'd feel better about myself. I seem to have lost self discipline and motivation to be as healthy as can be. Sometimes I think it doesn't matter now. I could work hard at it and it wouldn't add more years to my life . At other times I think that the years I have left would be happier ones. Anyway, I'm half trying . I can't imagine what it's like to have to keep weight on or put more on but I know many with cancer have this battle ,kj. I wish that those of us with some kilos to lose could just donate some to those like you who'd like or need some. Good idea? LOL. ... View more

I did lose a little weight but it's back on. My motivation fluctuates .I've become an emotional eater. I become disappointed with myself and can't get into exercising except 2 line dance classes a week. I am usually happy but am going through a down time too. Let's hope we can both be happier next time we say something on this site .Thanks for your sharing. ... View more
