Are you struggling with weight loss?  If so you are not alone.  Thousands of people all over the world are struggling with weight loss.  There are many different reasons why Americans across the nation are struggling with weight loss.  Some include stress at the office or home, lack of affection by our spouse or family, being unhappy and alone, lack of intimacy in marriage and so much more.  Those are really good and important reasons but in this article we will discuss why and how do people with disabilities struggle with weight loss.

So as you read this please try to understand what we are going through.  I think it starts when you are really young.  People with disabilities cannot move around that much.  They are limited on what exercises they can and can’t do.  It’s all about making choices and trying to maintain the right diet.  It is hard because you cannot get out and walk, run do any physical sports to burn calories.  You need to burn calories in order to lose weight.  One of the best things to do especially if you’re disabled is go swimming.  Swimming is a healthy activity that can be continued for a lifetime, and the health benefits swimming offers for a lifetime are worth the effort it takes to get to the swimming pool. It works practically all of the muscles in the body (if you do a variety of strokes). Swimming can develop a swimmer’s general strength, and strengthens your heart. The other important thing to do is have a healthy balanced diet.  You shouldn’t eat processed foods or junk food.

To help with weight loss and stay healthy you should eat these yummy treats

When it comes to me I know I have a weight problem and it is very hard for me to lose weight.   I’m the type of guy who loves to eat food.  I can probably out eat some of the best.  When I see or smell food I go crazy.  I think some of my problem is I get very sad and depressed therefore I eat.  Growing up sometimes in school and home I got made fun of a lot.  To a young boy or girl growing up it is so very hard to deal with.  In school I didn’t have that many friends.  People didn’t really talk to me.  I was left out of a lot of social events and activities that others would do.  I did not go to dances and football games that they had at school.  To me eating was one of the few escapes that I had.  Even today I’m 28 and struggling with weight loss.  When I get motivated I try to swim once maybe twice a week but in my life motivation is really hard.  I just get sad a lot because some people in my life make fun of me still and call me names.  I get told “no woman will ever want to be with a man like me because of my weight and disability as it’s too complicated”.  I try to stay positive the best that I can.  In conclusion people that ate over weight have feelings to and should be treated as equals as well.
