Hi! Since being diagnosed with severe UC 6 years ago, I've put on about 60 lbs. I've lost 10 so far, but at 5'3" and about 203lbs, I've got a long way to go. I put the first 35lbs on in about 3 weeks (I was 18 and the pharmacists/docs didn't warn me about prednisone), and it's been an UPhill battle from there. I'm finally in remission, and ready to take control back of my life, but I'm SO tired all the time. I sleep 8-9 hours a day...work for 8.5-9 hours...and commute 45mins to and from work. This doesn't leave me with a lot of time, and the time I do have at home I sit staring at my computer screen instead of on my treadmill (and unfortunately grabbing less than ideal foods). I'd love to be able to connect with some people in my same situation. I find weightloss blogs hard to connect through because people just don't understand this disease and how it can impact your life!
Thanks!
Thanks!
