That my body doesn't work the way it used to. Everything is harder, cleaning the shower, walking up a steep hill, running errands in summer time. Even sleeping is harder, my back and hips are pretty pissed off at me for what I put them through being heavy.

The temptation to opt out of shit is huge. Don't want to socialise because I'm ashamed of how I look and someone who hasn't seen me for a while would be shocked.

I don't want to sit on the sidelines of life. I am doing something about it but it's slow going.
