Blobby bits

[urbansprite]

I an 50 years old and have had a really awful 15 months nursing my terminally ill daughter. Before she became ill I was very active and ate well. During her illness I became very sedentary and ate poorly. I now have gained almost 2 stone and am very out of condition and fat. Where do I start?

how about somewhere like closerdiets.com? you join for a fee and they set you a realistic goal and you get a personalised diet and fitness regieme. plus i think there is an online community for lots of support. i havnt tried it myself but have looked into it. i reckon you have more chance of succedding if you have an attainable goals and support.
good luck.

I totally sympathise, you have put your daughters health and well being before your own, and now you are feeling down and out of shape.

Speak to your doctor, I assume he is also your daughter's GP. Tell him your worries and I'm sure he will arrange for you to see a NH dietician for free.
Once you have established a healthy eating regime, you will find you have more energy to start burning off those extra pounds.
You may even find there is a local support group or excersise classes, also free of charge. I really hope so, nobody deserves it more than you.
Good luck.
