knifeboots Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I joined the rebellion six years ago, and I did really well for a while, and then depression took hold and dragged me down. I finally clawed my way out two years ago with the help of meds, but I have been dealing with prodigious weight gain. Two years ago I started ice skating, and last summer I played pick up hockey once a week, but was sidelined with back and knee issues. Since then I've been diagnosed with two herniated discs in my lower back, and an enlarged thyroid. I need to start taking care of myself. I've started walking in the mornings to get active again and I am making gradual changes to my diet. I hope I can stick with it this time. 2 Quote "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

Take care of yourself while you recover. Blessings! 1 Quote Mama Gnome, Healer and Crafter Keeper of the Five Hobbits All Around Awesome Link to comment

Thilde Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I also joined NF 6 years ago and had a similar bumpy road of mental health challenges, weight gain, and changes to my physical body that have brought challenges with my mobility. I just recently came back, right before the last challenge. I am so far from where I was 6 years ago, but I believe with gradual, consistent work it is possible to get back to healthiness. I wish you good luck on your journey. 1 Quote Link to comment
