I'm 49 y.o. Female, mom of 7 y.o. daughter, married, unemployed currently - due to health reasons mostly for the past 3+ years. I want, and need, to lose 88 pounds ASAP. My biggest hurdle are my health issues. the one that stops me from losing weight the most? I have multiple Respiratory diseases [Severe Asthma, COPD (never smoked - but get Chronic Bronchitis and Pneumonia several times a year, and have a Collapsed middle lung on the right side that is Irreparable I'm told]. So, physical exertion of any kind gives me really bad breathing problems. Yep - I have all the inhalers, meds, breathing machine. *The hard part is I try, because I am determined. I start dancing/exercising in home (I loved to dance), but, can only do it for a couple of minutes, then I am out of air and need to sit immediately to catch my breath, stop wheezing, stop gasping for air, etc.! They give me Prednisone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) A LOT (more frequently over past 13 years). This contributes to weight increase in a major way! THE HARDEST THING FOR ME? - I FEEL LIKE ITS A CATCH 22 - BREATHE OR LOSE WEIGHT - BUT 'HOW' WHEN ALL PHYSICAL EXERTION CAUSES ME GREAT BREATHING PROBLEMS. I get depressed over it and hate to look at myself in mirror and especially in pictures! I get so frustrated and angry because all of the workout/burn fat programs out there do NOT SEEM TO take into consideration the people with major health issues who really want to lose weight. Like severe respiratory conditions. So, I'm really hoping and praying this Weight Management through Henry Ford Hospital helps me once and for all. They said they can even help me slowly to find and start minor physical exercises I can do sitting down. Oh GOD please let them/this be the answer to my weight loss prayers!
