I was wondering if any of you had experience with this: In the last year or so I find it difficult to move as I used to. I know it's natural given the fact that I've gained a lot of weight in a relatively short time, but I always used to be quite fit for my size and I was never thin.
Simple things make me out of breath but my main concern is walking. A 2-minute walk leaves me literally in ruins and I have to sit down immediately. My symptoms after walking (for a very short distance, like an isle of a supermarket) are tight and heavy leg muscles and back pain. If I don't sit down, bending forwards gives me some relief. I used to have some back pain some time ago which has got much better and I don't suffer at all these days. It's just the walking thing and it's not just my back.
I don't want to go back to the doctor or another doctor because I know and we all know that I will get the usual lecture. And I know that my weight is probably the reason. Have you had experience with this? Do you think my body will adjust eventually? Is it due to weak abdominals or on the weight of my belly.
Your comments / advice / opinions are very appreciated
