injury, want to cry, vent for the void.

just a vent. But yknow that whole shebang of can’t outrun a bad diet? Absolutely true. However. You can run/weight lift/NEAT your way to an extra 300ish calories. Which is a lot, to me, at 1406/day. That’s an extra breakfast lol

I injured my ankle about a week ago and have been going slightly insane because over the last 3 years of losing weight/maintaining weight loss, the gym and exercise have become a significant part of my routine. It’s been huge for managing anxiety, in particular. And now I’m supposed to be completely non weight bearing for > a month and it sucks. Im really fucking hungry, I’m anxious and that’s making me want to eat for comfort, and I haven’t found an outlet for stress.

All of this is making me crave nicotine like a motherfucker, despite quitting the vape 2 years ago. And I can’t have it anyway because the ankle issue is increasing my clot risk. So. Definitely no nic (can’t even afford it with all the medical bills), no alcohol because I can’t walk it off, and no comfort food for the same reason.

This fucking sucks. And I’m in my bag. And the gym is a really fucking great way to get an endorphin high that I can’t do. I’m doing all the non weight bearing exercises, but I can’t find a cardio solution that my ortho approved of. She offered one leg recumbent bike, but vetoed swimming, bike, and elliptical.

Cheekiest part of all, my calf already lost a quarter inch. My ass is most certainly the next to go. I made so much fucking progress and it feels like it’s going to shit and I genuinely don’t know what to do except cry

I’m 10 pounds overweight. It’s getting very difficult

I’m 10 pounds away from the limit of a healthy bmi for my height. I’ve been slowly losing weight little by little by running 8 miles a day ...
