I have tried to most of my life to shed my weight im german born, and all my family is large, I am the healthiest eater of the lot not eating the fatty stuff they eat and not consuming the salt, but i will tell you more on my food later. First, I need to tell you I am not very mobile, and thats not by choice, I am arthritis in the spine, also have a degenerating spine and am loosing three vertebrae that are crumbling, I also have arthritis in the hip joints, so walking is very painful, I have just recently gotten a scooter to get me out of the house more and help me get around I feel alot better that im not bottled up in the house anymore plus im getting movement of top torso and general well being.
Now to tell you how I eat, I do have a downfall now and then and have 2 sandwiches in the morning but that happens maybe 2 or 3 times every 3 months, it doesnt happen often as i feel so terrible, i do it when my BSL is really low and im starving hungry and feeling nauseous cause of the low bsl. For my usual breakfas i have 2 pieces of toast, with cheese usually, tomato pepper and a lil salt, avocado if i have it or lean ham, and a cup of tea with equal. Often i forget lunch and have a dinner of 100 grams meat, steamed potato usually 1/2 of one 1/2 a carrot, 2 - 3 pieces of pumpkin, one onion sometimes, and peas, often we have gravy too. I get hungry later at night so I stuff myself at dinner with vegies cause im so afraid of snacking.

I am a snacker of potato chicps but last night i threw the packet away i dont want to do that anymore, what other snacks are there that are healthy and can be snacked on anytime beside vegies.

I am 44, I live in South Australia, I am a happy person, I was told yesterday that i was having a reaction to new meds and my current BP is 210/102 I am real close to a stroke. So i am resting this weekend and im determined to lose more than the 10 pounds i lost. I need help and advice.

Hugs and Loves

I also suffered from having high blood pressure for years, mine has been as high as Yours at times, Thou the doctors never really said to much to me. I went Friday to the doctors to have it checked...it was 120/80..and people are telling I look better than I did years ago.......For me its all in the determination.
