Thank you so much for this post. I have been feeling like a failure. I have had some health problems (bowel obstruction, removal of some intestine, and infection) ughhh. I have gained 15#, i know it doesnt sound like much but I have not been able to exercise since the end of November when this emergency exploritory surgery happened.  I am on the road to recovery but I feel like I'm stuck in a rut.  I constantly pick at carbs, (not bread, can't stand it) but sugar carbs, like hershey kisses, etc. I know that I am lucky to be alive, but I think I am comparing myself as to how much thinner I was before this happened. I have gained inches due to not being able to exercise, and I was afraid to get on this site because of how I had felt. I had no where to go for support. Thank you again, I beleive that with the support of this site, and the wonderful folks here that I will be able to get back to where I was prior to my mishap. There is nothing I hate more than someone who says "I told you so".  It is so degrading. Thanks again. Marie:)

Hey Marie, Well, it's Monday morning.. a good time for a fresh start, I think. I am determined to go the entire day without eating any "bad carbs" and the first thing I did when I got up was put on my gym clothes. I can't imagine how much it must have affected your attitude not being to work out at all. I tore some ligaments in my left shoulder about 9 weeks ago and haven't really been able to do anything except walk/jog since. I'm really, really missing my routine of yoga and other classes and I've used it as a bad excuse to slack off on working out. But ... today, I will run. And Today, I will not eat bagels or sugar (or pancakes like yesterday! geez..) Best of luck to you. And thanks for all of you for your responses. This site really can be just as important a tool as our new bodies. Carol

Hi Carol, Hope your monday was fine. You are so right, this site is a God send. I am planning on walking the track this weekend.  I will do some sit ups tonight so i can say that I did something physical today. Have a good one! Marie
