Hi @Jordan_90

Good Evening & Welcome.

I am one of the Community Champion’s here at Scope.

Yes we have got a thread here on “Diet & Nutrition”

https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/70478/weight-loss-thread

Please let let me know if you have any problems??

Hello and welcome to the community @Jordan_90! As @steve51 pointed out, you might like to take a look at the Diet and Nutrition category of the site. I've moved your post there so that our other members will be able to spot your post more easily.

Would you like to tell us a little bit more about yourself? How has your day been?

Jordan_90

Thanks so and what would you like to know

Hi @Tori_Scope

Many thanks for your help ??

Hi @Jordan_90

No problem. I wasn't able to move it for some reason, so I've made a new post for you, which you can find here.

Anything you feel comfortable sharing! Some of our members might find it helpful to know what your experience of disability is, or what you enjoy doing in your free time. This is a space for you to talk about whatever you'd like to talk about. There's no obligation to talk about anything else, so if you just want weight loss tips that's also fine

I'm an open book really. I am 29 years old with cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair 

Living life to the full hasn't been an easy journey. I am worried I will be too depressing

Hi and thank you 

Tori_Scope

In that case, I'd also like to direct you towards the Cerebral Palsy category here on the community. The wonderful @Richard_Scope is running a welcome cafe with CP Sport on Monday, so perhaps that's something you'd be interested in? 

Don't worry about being 'depressing' by sharing your story. Many of our members find life difficult at times in a number of different ways, and we're all here to support you where we can. Feel free to vent or ask for advice and support whenever you need it

emmarenshaw

@Jordan_90 No problem at all. I’m going to tag @Richard_Scope Scope’s CP advisor to see if he can give you anymore advice.  But know that you are not alone and that the Scope team is here if you ever need their support.

Hi @Jordan_90

Please please come back to me if you are feeling “Worried & Depressed”

Thank you so much. Well I don't have a close relationship with anyone at all!! In my spare time I penpal, play computer games and games on my Nintendo switch and phone. I am always watching series or programs on Netflix and I have recently got into anime. I am involved with different art groups and a theatre group and let's not forget the scope cafe with cp sport haha. I attend a knitting group but of course these have all stopped due to the coronavirus 

Jordan_90

@Tori_Scope I am already involved with the cafe

Hi @Jordan_90

That sounds great it’s always better to keep yourself busy.

It's difficult with the outbreak of the coronavirus 

Tori_Scope

Wow it seems as though you have a lot of hobbies @Jordan_90 , which is really great! Yes, it's unfortunate that a lot of activities have had to stop due to Coronavirus. I guess you've still been able to play on your Switch and write to your penpal/s though? What games do you like to play? I never got into anime, but it seems likely that some of our other members also enjoy it.

I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel as though you have a close relationship with anyone at the moment. Have you been able to make any friends through the clubs you do? Putting yourself out there is probably the most important, but daunting, step you can take in forming close relationships with people, and it sounds like you've been able to take that step, which is good.

I'm glad to hear you're already involved in the cafe! Did you enjoy it?

Tori_Scope

Yes pesky Coronavirus has made things a lot more tricky. Thank goodness for online communities, eh?

Jordan_90

Not as such as I don't speak to them outside of group. The games I play vary but it is usually crash pokemon or mario

No my first session was 3rd August. 

Jordan_90

@Tori_Scope. Definitely thank goodness for online communities
