Hey everyone, have been an avid lurker of this sub for a while and taken some really great advice and knowledge from it, so wanted to try and get some support in a moment of struggle.
I’ve been in a concerted effort to lose since January. I’ve been in a decent calorie deficit, exercising including weight training 3 -4 times a week. I don’t necessarily always get my 10K steps in, but my calories in has always been under my deficit set so I don’t see it as a huge problem. I’d lost 10lbs and was so proud and motivated.
Basically, this week I was in a car wreck. My car has been written off and I’ve sustained moderate injuries. It could have been so much worse and I’m very grateful and lucky it wasn’t.
I’ve lost use of my car which is how I got to the gym and groceries etc. In a few weeks I also have to have a surgery that will leave me on bed rest for a few weeks and unable to exercise for about six weeks.
I’ve already put on a pound this week and I’m just feeling very hopeless and like I’m going to undo all the work I’ve done since January.
I know life throws this curveballs and it’s not the end of the world and I can start fresh when I’m healed. I also know I’m lucky things weren’t so much worse and weight loss is trivial in the grand scheme of things.
I just feel like I was doing so well and now it’s all coming crashing down around me.
I suppose I’m just looking for some reassurance, maybe some of you have been through similar setbacks? I just feel a bit depressed and deflated.
Thanks and sorry for such a moaning post xxx
