lovinthev8 ? cool name...
I was very active and I was not over weight when I first started having bad heart problems. Man, I was climbing in Mammoth cave on one of their long rough tours when I had one of my heart attacks. I was climbing up a mountain pass in the Philippines when I had another.

My medical condition greatly reduced my mobility; and through the years of not being able to be active anymore, I am now overweight…

For many years I’ve only been able to eat small meals (about 8 oz, sometimes less) because it bothers my heart.
My husband calls me a cheap date… Ha Ha
Plus I’ll eat a small carb snack (less than one oz) when I have to take medicine that will hurt my stomach. My biggest vise is I like watered down sweet tea. I like healthy food and hate white bread, cheese, and greasy food and without dieting my daily calorie intake is between 1200 and 1700. I’ve been on a low cholesterol diet since 1985 with no results (still dangerously high). I am not able to tolerate statins or niacin’s, and only take zetia. I’ve been told that my high cholesterol is inherited and that it’s my liver that’s messing me up.

I wonder how many people have become overweight because of their disability, and not, become disabled because of their being overweight ?
