Does "activity induced asthma" mean that you are heavily overweight?
If so, it's really hard to break out of that vicious circle-- you can't do much, so you sit around and eat a snack "now and then." But those now-and-thens add up to a lot, and there's not much other pleasure to be had if your wings are clipped by your health condition, right?
If you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and a moderate amount of meat or dairy, you shouldn't have to worry about vitamins. But most importantly, you need to go to fitness sites, calculate how many calories you can safely cut in your diet, and have faith in the accumulation of small advantages over time. If you can't exercise, then your diet is the only way to lose weight-- but if you crash too much, you'll just kill your metabolism, and things won't improve much for you anyway.
I've been a struggler over the past 15 years or so. I actually got myself down to about 190 lbs and ran a marathon, and was running 6-minute miles. Since then, I've been more on-and-off due to a joint injury and a loss of faith and discipline after that.
But I can tell you how success works-- if you get more pleasure from your achievements, including the achievement of putting down that donut and grabbing a carrot instead, than you get from the food itself, then you are winning. I really believe that's the key-- do things that will make you feel proud of yourself and in-control.
btw my original struggle was with depression, and I started by just making my bed in the morning. Then I started tidying more stuff, going out of the house more, and gradually I built so much momentum that I ended up wanting to go to the gym for a new challenge. All that led to a cascade that carried on for several years until I got hurt.
Now, I'm in that boat again, but it's hard to get the ball rolling. You know what? I'm gonna make a bragging thread where we can all go and talk about the things we feel good about.
