So here's the deal. I'm 21 and overweight, currently about 320 pounds at 5'7". I've got PCOS. I'm on a gluten-free diet, atm, because my mom's on a 'we've all got gluten intolerance' kick plus my stepsister having Celiac disease. I've cut way back on my food intake (I don't know about how many calories I consume a day, but it's definitely under 1300) and this is the farthest I've ever come, weightloss wise. In the past, I've gotten hungry, which makes me uncomfortable, and then due to personal problems/past trauma, I overeat. I believe my stomach -has- shrunk a bit, because I don't need as much food to fill me up as I did before.
Anyways. I've lost about 20-30 pounds so far, but my goal is to be around 250 pounds total. During the summer of last year, I walked alot. It was working on keeping my weight down.
However, my health has been deteriorating slowly but surely. I'm undiagnosed at the moment due to insurance reasons but we're 99% sure it's Myasthenia Gravis, which my mother, my grandmother and two aunts have, as well as several undiagnosed-but-probables in our family. I'm weak, tired all the time, and don't have the energy to do much of anything. A good day is taking a shower or sweeping the house. An amazing day is doing both. Climbing the stairs is difficult, as is walking distances (going shopping is ****). Life has become a hassle to live, but I take one day at a time. I'm lightyears away from the ADHD, high-energy child I used to be.
But I'm so tired of looking at myself in the mirror and seeing the fat I've been collecting since I was 12 and my cycles started.
What kind of exercise can a low-energy, weak person do? I can't walk long distances, my arms shake if I lift anything over 15 pounds and I have no access to a pool or anything like that.
I feel helpless right now. I don't really know what else to do or who to turn to.
