Losing Weight and feeling better with multiple sclerosis

It's hot (105 degrees in Texas). My multiple sclerosis seems to be in rare form lately and it occurs to me that it might be because I am making poor food choices (and thus gaining weight).

Don't you feel so much better when you are in the best shape you can be? If I am either heavy or gaining weight, I feel miserable. As a result, my multiple sclerosis is usually not good either. I am tired, lethargic and generally grumpy - that combined with the minimized ability to walk and move smoothly. Bad news for multiple sclerosis.

In general, gaining weight and being bigger than you want to be sucks. Yet having multiple sclerosis makes me less mobile than I would ordinarily be. It is a double-edged sword. I am convinced that losing weight is a way in which I might take control of the things I can control in my life. It may be the only way I am going to feel good about myself.

So with that in mind (I will try anything to psych myself into it), today I am going to focus on making better choices for my health and multiple sclerosis. Losing weight will help me both lose weight and feel great.

What would losing weight do for you and your health?
