So I’ve decided to restart my fitness and weight loss journey, properly. I’ve been really quite preoccupied over the last year and am just now working out what to do in the way of fitness and weight loss whilst having fibromyalgia. My family and friends are currently so supportive, I have the time and money now to go to the gym and above all the dedication is there this time.

Currently, I go to the gym 4 or 5 days a week and try to swim as well (2 or 3).

I’m very excited about this and I feel as though this is the only thing keeping me going at the moment.

Having chronic pain and fatigue is hard enough, being overweight and wanting to loss that weight is extremely difficult. I hope that I can reach my goal. I don’t care how long it takes. I want to be healthier and fit. I have found that with exercising and the current medication I am on, it’s helping me so much to cope.

Just because I can do this doesn’t invalidate my disability. Some days it is really bad and I don’t do anything but watch tv and hate the pain. Other days I can do everything like ‘normal’. Not everyone will be able to do what I’m doing, and I hope as spoonies and fibro warriors we can help each other through all different journeys.
