in april i was around 208, (down from my highest 255 the year before) and then i broke my ankle, fracture the top of my foot, and ripped 3 tendons. it was a long and painful recovery and its still not totally over. its hard to walk on my ankle and i still don't have full movement and functionality back.
as soon as i got the cast on i was bed bound for a while. my doc said if i moved or stressed the foot anymore, the tendons would rip all the way through and i would need surgery and 8 month recovery so i listened and stayed off it. well, i started gaining weight immediately and got depressed about it and when i'm depressed i eat.
so long story short, here i am. last week i weighed in at the doc office, mid day after eating and fully clothed: 253. when i saw that number i wanted to die.
but these last few days i've been working out a bit (can only do like 10-15 minutes on the treadmill before my ankle hurts too much. and i tried swimming but it hurts really bad... something about the way i'm swimming makes my ankle scream with pain.
and i'm trying to diet again. its so hard when i have very little money again but i'm calorie counting again (calorie counting worked well for me before)...
but i just feel so depressed to know that year i lost 50lb was for nothing.
i can't believe i gained it all back.
i know there are some people here who have lost a significant amount of weight and gained it back and are now having to lose it again...
i would really appreciate some support and advice...
thanks
