Answer to question: Why is exercise important

I have been sick with bronchitis for over a week now and have not been able to exercise. I've stayed below my calories and have been losing weight - actually more than I expected.
I'm sitting in my chair and looking at my belly that is turning flabby, my back is achy (probably a bit from too much bedrest), and I just feel soft and a bit thicker.
I can't wait to be able to start exercising again in a few days (must be able to climb stairs without gasping first), I miss that firmness my body was showing, and I miss how strong and empowered it made me feel.
I'm sure I'll gain at least a pound back when I start, but that's ok - because I know that in this week part of my loss is due to muscle loss.
