Yes! And not just subtle disapproval (my friend really hates my weight, even though we're not together as a boyfriend/girlfriend thing). I wish there were some practical steps that I knew about that might help my back so I could regain my strength.

I miss walking so much. It used to be my favorite thing to do, go for long walks. I used to walk all around the city back when I was still "well". I just really miss that. I rarely even took the subway or cabs, I just walked everywhere. So even if I did eat the wrong things, the weight didn't start settling until after I wrecked my back.

My back got bad gradually, and then the last time I moved cross country I was stuffed into a tiny space in the moving truck for over 24 hours and that's what finally did my back in. So I'm hoping it can be reversed at least a certain amount and maybe I can be more mobile than I am now. I don't know what it will take though, to pull me out of the depression I'm in.
