My Catch 22

My dilemma: I started running 8 weeks ago, doing the couch to 5K program. I am LOVING how I feel, and the inches I have lost. . . The scale has finally started to move! BUT, about 3 weeks ago I developed Peroneal Tendonitis. I have been doing the recommended PT, and icing, and have cut back on my running. I am also taping both ankles for each run.
Everyone keeps telling me I need to completely quit exercising for a month to let it heal. I do NOT want to quit. Not only do I love the way I feel, but I am terrified that if I stop, I will start gaining weight since my body is used to exercise now.
Any advice?
