I sign my posts Mm and I'm 51 years old, perimenopausal, and fat. I have been fat for a long time. In May I started taking a medication that causes weight gain. Consequently, I gained some weight on top of the excess I already carried. The extra weight caused my knees to hurt badly. I have been a runner for the last 10 years. I always grumped that I didn't lose weight from running, but turns out the running was staving off increased weight all that time. When I stopped running because of the knee pain, I started gaining even more weight. Now I am at my heaviest weight ever and I feel so awful about how I look and how I feel. I want to be able to be comfortably as active as I have gotten used to. I want to stop the trash talking that goes on in my head about how I look, and then I want to look better and be healthier.
