I was 341 at my doctor visit last week. We discussed diabetic orthotics possibly but having to wait on hearing back from insurance. In the mean time, I bought new shoes thinking that might help because I had some cheap crappy ones because I don't buy nice things for myself. At this point, I've been trying to power walk two miles a day. Currently I would say I'm averaging 5 days a week. Every time I get home, my feet absolutely kill me and keep trying to break out in blisters and I don't understand why. I have some nice New Balance shoes that fit well. I'm wearing clean socks. Casually I can walk a mile no problem. Am I walking too hard or something? I'm averaging 40 to 43 minutes on my walks which honestly I'm not happy about either. (I realize I have unrealistic expectations of myself after living a sedimentary life for the past 10+ years but its who I am) The only things that keep me going through my walks are sheer determination, self loathing, and loud music lol. Side note, I could use some words of encouragement because between not dropping weight as fast as I thought I would and my feet and legs killing me, I'm pretty down.
