I gain weight and my blood pressure went up

I let go of a lot when I realize I was having health issues in other ways and now I'm seeing the consequences. 

I used to teeter between 150 and 160 and now I'm almost 180. My blood pressure used to be probably 80 over 100 and now it's 120 something over 80. 

I'm one of many people that has gained weight after becoming disabled so it's not like it's anything abnormal, but definitely something I want to get handle on. 

I thought I lost the weight because my stomach went back to normal, but the way my weight distributes is very overt and then very sneaky. It sits in my face and upper body for a while and then it goes down to my buns and thighs. And then I think I lost the weight cuz I don't see it in my upper body anymore but I'm not paying as much attention to my lower body. 

I'll figure it out though. I'll get my care team on it!
