Getting started

Hello. I am 40 and have major back problems. I Had spinal fusion 6 months ago. I was unable to move much for close to 2 months and am still limited in what I can do. Between the medications (steroids) and the lack of activity I have gained over 40lbs. and lost alot of muscle! I have struggled with weight my whole life. I was able to keep it within 20lbs of my ideal but now I am 60lbs. over which is not helping my back at all. I got in the habit of eating anything that I wanted because that was all I had to take my mind off the pain. I have been in physical therapy and they are pleased with my progress but I am not! Now it is almost time for me to go back to work and I am way too out of shape. It is time for me to take owner ship for using this injury as an excuse to eat crap and be lazy.
