I’m sorry Renee. It is hard when our bodies start acting up and misbehaving. We have to remember that food is not the enemy. Somewhere along the lines we’ve been taught that food =weight. Food is nourishment and necessary for us to be healthy. We have to work on that rewiring again. Baby steps with small snacks. It’s not easy but necessary for us to heal.
Smart to remove the batteries. Weight is an issue all our lives and it’s harder to deal with the older we get. Don’t let the scale rule your health.
Hope you are able to work out your health issues and start feeling like yourself again
