Last week I was in emergency room with a high fever (105F:noway: ) Found out that I have a kidney infection. I'm on the antibiotics now and still feeling very weak. I can't work out and feeling SO AWFUL about myself. I feel like I'm huge now (which I'm probably not). My mind is going crazy without physical activity. Trying to stay within my calories. But again my crazy mind says "you have ruined everything not working out for almost a week, you can eat, just do it" I'm fighting it, but still feel like a looser.

    dont get yourself down about this. in fact i think you should forget diet altogether rightnow, your immune system gets lower with stress and worry, so please just give yourself a break. .kidney infections are painful and serious. i had them chronically and nearly got blood infection which is very serious. Please just chill out, get your ma or your friends to grab you a gossip mag and a latte and just recoup... its the only way the antibiotics will work.. good luck girl and so sorry to hear your poorly. xxx

    Look at it as just a temporary setback. The advice above is right -- give yourself the time to recuperate. Don't go overboard, but definitely don't be anxious about diet/exercise. You'll get back on your feet and right back on track soon enough. And don't feel like a loser! It's not your fault you got sick! I hope you feel better soon :):flowerforyou:

    I was sick a few weeks back and went thru the same thing. I was scared because I wasn't exercising. I lost 3 lbs that week so just keep eating healthy and give your body the break it needs. It will all work out.

    Your body is working very hard wight now to heal and you want to allow your body to recuperate. The little voices in your head telling you that you blew it is not reality. You did not blow anything, you got sick. Stop beating yourself up. ndnlou
