Anyone else feeling like they are postponing their life until weight loss?
I turned 18 a couple months ago and I feel really down that I'm almost unable to lose my few last vanity pounds because I knew they would make a dramatic difference in my appearance. I'm 5'8 and 138 lbs which I know to others might not sound big yet I knew that if I was in the 120s range I would look so much more slimmer…

Managing unexpected lack of exercise
I'm stuck on the couch for a while after snapping a ligament in my knee. This is stressing me out for two reasons. 1. I'm used to eating back some exercise calories.
