I'm about 70 lbs overweight. I frequently find myself feeling tired and exhausted, even with 8+ hours of sleep.
Sometimes I dismiss social outings or procrastinate because I feel too tired, and I take on less responsibilities because I don't know if I can handle much without feeling exhausted. I'm a student, and my main focus is on school at the moment.
Tomorrow I am going to ask the doctor about this, but more likely than not she will point out my weight and its corresponding lifestyle habits.
I am attacking my weight problem once and for all. I'm hoping my lack of energy is due to my weight, because that is fixable.
I'm just curious for those of you who have lost significant amounts of weight and are close to a healthy BMI - how were your energy levels at your high weight, and how are they now? Would you say there is a huge difference in the amount of responsibilities and activities you can take on due to the increased energy levels? Any other comments?
Thanks
