Prior to my injury, I was in the best shape of my life. I lift weights and went on a cut, started biking and running, somehow gained strength despite losing ~8 pounds (with another 10 to go) . I could do pull ups. I biked 15 miles with ease. I was repping out what used to be my maxes.
While incline DB pressing, something in my shoulder gave. I'm seeing the doctor soon (I've had the injury for only a week) but it's probably my rotator cuff. This is especially distressing since I'm 16 and I don't know any 16 year olds that sustain rotator cuff injuries. I'm very careful. I use spotters. This isn't my first major injury (tore my hamstring last year)
How do I cope with this all?
I'm taking a diet break but dieting gives me a structure in what I eat. I feel like I'm aimlessly counting calories, wonderign what the point is of even eating 150+ grams of protein a day. I can train legs, abs and cardio. Losing the rest of this weight is off the table for a while, I guess.
I'm terrified of losing my hard earned progress. I romanticized myself so much and attached so much worth to my body; I feel completely lost now. I spent the past 4 months chasing a "summer body" or whatever, and now I feel like I can't go to the beach or eat out or enjoy my summer at all. I feel ashamed of my body already. I don't know why.
Advice is appreciated.
