[QUOTE="PamJHS, post: 2152915, member: 507159"] This is my experience as well. My gradual weight gain is quite clearly related to illnesses that have affected my mobility - such as recurrent cellulitis, and arthritis. Yet these - like almost every other illness you care to mention - are part of the great 'losing weight will help' category of illnesses. Yes, it may do - but that doesn't mean that being overweight has caused them in the first place! I've only just got treatment for the oedema in my leg, which a GP told me was probably causing the cellulitis, after 15 years! As it is, the swelling in my foot and ankle, and the pain from my hip, make it very difficult to get most shoes on, which is another factor in my lack of exercise. I've pointed this out every time a GP has mentioned weight loss to me, but to little effect, because I MUST be binge eating chocolate and buns! [/QUOTE]
