Ooooh Dear it really sounds like me too. Shazzy. Re weight, meds and back pain and exercise. A while ago psychologist said I did not stack on the weight that others had with the meds I am on, but couls still lose a heap. I keep active, garden, physio and walks, but still. On the treat side. I have allowed myself more treats on the last 2 years than the whole previous 50! So cant complain too much. My thing with pain is that I notice it more when I am still, so moving and getting involved takes my mind off it, but then I am exhausted and aching all over at end of the day. Like Now! The other side is that I was up nights a lot and the active days helps me keep regularity to my day-night cycle. I have reduced meds, so trying for more natural hormones to kick in. 2 nights ago i had nightmare, Last night I barely got any sleep. Today I did teach for an hour and I love that. Its the being involved and practical and capable and right kind of social. I also have told the zoo that I might not be up to returning even though they are just letting vollies back. I am thinking I have to simplify things and rethink re COvid and empty nest and what is the best focus for life right now.
Anyway thats me in a nutshell atm. Going to have a bath and an early night.
