Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003discouraging start
Here I sit all broken hearted, had to exercise but barely started. After 8 weeks off because of an auto accident I went back to the gym. Oh my God, it was like starting all over. I could only lift half the weights I did before and couldn't wait to get off the treadmill. I haven't been away from exercise for this long since I lost weight 4 years ago. I have gain weight and can't get into some of my clothes. I went to the gym with my exercise clothes on and when I left, I put on a pair of pants that fit before I had the accident and could hardly get the zipper up. It would have been very embarrassing if I had to walk out of the gym with my zipper half way down. I will have to work really hard to get back to where I was before. This is sooo depressing. Lesson learned for anyone thinking about stopping exercise without a good excuse, don't, it is too hard to get back into doing it again. I know it will get better, but damn this is discouraging.

You might want to start the same way you did in the very beginning - I know I first started with just walking for several weeks before I had the stamina to do a more intensive workout. And of course, pay attention to your diet... It will only be a couple weeks of consistant activity before you're back to where you were. det > Here I sit all broken hearted, had to exercise but barely started. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > again.

Take it easy and I'm sure you'll find yourself back at your previous level soon.

I know it will get better, but damn this is discouraging. > Roxan It'll come back, Roxan! It's not like you have to *learn* all over, your body just needs to adjust back into the swing. Take it a little easier and try to enjoy it. When DST changed and I had to move back inside to my treadmill my body fought it for a few days. It wasn't harder - just different. Now when I'm done and all sweaty, I come up from the basement and always say aloud "I love my treadmill!" even if it's only to my Newfie. (she still thinks I'm nuts<g>) Good luck with getting back to it and congratulations!  SignatureWalking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude!

I once missed about 6-8 weeks of working out due to a vacation followed by an illness followed by my father's death. I was a mess when I got back to the gym but within a couple of weeks I was back on track. Chris Thanks Chris that is encouraging, I hope tomorrows goes better too.
