Fresh start on CD after 7 month break!

[susandan]

Hi everyone,
I am restarting CD today after 7 months off, reason being that I have been in a lot of pain in the past 7 months (some of you might have read my other post), I have 3 damaged discs in my neck and 3 damaged in my lower back. I haven't been able to do much exercise and have felt pretty low so have gained 2 stone of the 3 stone I lost on CD last year. I wasn't going to weigh myself, was only going to use clothes as a guide but the curiosity got the better of me and I was pleasantly surprised I hadn't put the whole lot back on. I am going to weigh myself monthly not weekly this time.
Yesterday I went into hospital had had four facet joint injections (steroid) in my lower back (god it was painful, I cried like a baby) so I am to do nothing for a while whilst the healing takes place and I will be off work for at least another 8 weeks SO I thought this would be a perfect time to start CD as I know you can't do much exercise whilst ssing, at least for a few weeks anyway!
I am not in pain but just sore and uncomfortable at the moment, but it's better than the pain!
It will be nice to shift the 2 stone I've gained before returning to work.
I went into a hospital where they do alot of plastic surgury and talking to the nurse I was surprised how many tummy tucks take place there so that got me thinking and it's a very tempting goal - am thinking seriously about that, need to get to 10 stone first though...am 14.3 at the moment!

I look forward to many posts...cheers all...xx susan

Hi Susan

Welcome back to Minimins and to CDing - all the best with your re-start. It's great that you're using your recuperation time in such a positive way and re-starting your CDing, rather than sit around feeling sorry for yourself and eating too much.

All the best, hope your back starts to feel a bit better soon.

xx
