I started losing weight in 2013, and lost 95 pounds in 2 years. I was the healthiest I’ve ever been, and I grew to really love walking. I love going on long walks whenever I have free time, and never saw it as exercise, just a leisure activity that I really enjoyed.
Unfortunately, I slowly started to gain back some of the weight after being in a relationship, but I still fit in as much walking as possible. In the past few years, and mostly since Covid, I’ve gained back 50 pounds, and am so sad about it! With the weight gain has come lower back pain, and I get winded much more easily.
So now, the activity I love the most is painful, and difficult. The back pain has only been a thing for the past couple of weeks, so if it continues much longer, I know I should probably see a doctor.
But I used to spend my 30 minute lunch breaks walking every day, now I have to come back after 15 minutes, knowing I was walking much more slowly than I used to. I am trying to adjust my expectations of myself, and meet myself where I am, but it’s just so hard to accept that this is where I am.
I’m mostly just venting here, but if anyone has had similar experiences or feelings, I’d love to hear them.
