Plantar Fasciitis Support

01/09/2017 12:34AM

I have plantar fasciitis which makes it hard to walk sometimes. In fact it's hard to do a lot of exercises when you can't be on your feet. I'm hoping through proper nutrition I can lose a lot of my weight which should in turn make it easier to walk. I'm hoping it will be a snowball effect!

Hi Connie! You know, I felt like I was stuck in a vicious cycle for a while - I needed to exercise, because I knew that extra weight would aggravate my condition, but didn't feel that I could because of the pain. Now, 70 lbs lighter, I can honestly say that the best thing I did for myself (besides finding a treatment that worked for me) was losing the weight. It is SO rare now that my foot hurts, I've almost forgotten that it is something I need to be concerned about. But - I haven't forgotten. Those of us who suffer need to be diligent about taking care of our feet - wear good shoes! I threw out all of my heels. I have essentially three pairs of shoes that I wear now - my good running shoes, my flats for work, and a pair of boots. My shoe closet is decidedly empty. :) But I'll take that over the pain any day. I hope you find something that works for you - and that you meet your weight loss goals - it really does help.
