I sort of understand!! I can do light cardio(but my hip is bothering me big time, so not sure how long I am going to be able to keep doing this or if it is going to make it worse!)
In the 1 week since my crash I have put on 3 or 4 lbs, all around my middle. My body doesn't like to give me boobs or a behind, or even arms or legs- my body only likes to give me a little tire!

I have decided I either need to accept the weight(which is very hard.. I am already freaking out) or start writing everything down. B/C if I have to write it down, I will then understand how many calories I am actually taking in and it will help prevent me from splurging.

I was doing, on average, 15 hours a week on the bike. My caloric intake is having to be cut down big time, and it is hard!
And I am an eater when I get depressed
Plus, people now want to have me over for dinner or go get food- i think b/c they want to make sure I am healing ok. But now I am eating out more then I ever have before, and that is bad for the middle also(plus i don't usually drink, but everyone wants to have a beer or glass of wine, so that is more calories)

I find that, even though it is hard, writing down is the easiest thing to do.
Because, it is simply calories in/calories out.
So if your body needs say 1400 calories a day to run, plus maybe 300 extra for your healing and moving around. Then you know 1700 calories is what you need.

if you want someone to vent to, feel free to message me!!
