It's been awhile since I've been here. Hope everyone is doing well.

I have not been able to sit at a computer for any length of time. I had a lower back injury and I couldn't sit, stand, walk, lay down and was in chronic pain 24/7 until just this week I started to have some relief. Anyway, it is obvious that I must stick to a healthy diet and loose weight or the back injury will continue to reoccur as it has the past few years. It recurs more frequently and each time the pain gets worse and lasts longer. The extra weight only compounds the condition if it isn't cause of it.

I am really motivated now to eat smaller portions. I am afraid to workout or walk for too long so have been sleeping more again. I feel I have very little control over my health. I'll just take one day a time.
