Hi, I'm a 19 yr old athlete and freshman in college. I'm 5'6" and currently 227lbs. Im usually 180. I throw the shot put and discus, but recently fractured my spine. I'm fully mobile but it hurts doing certain things. My doctor has told me absolutely no activity other than walking to class. during this time i have gained about 50 pounds and am getting desperate and depressed about it. I eat smaller portions b/c of my lack of activity, but b/c I can't exercise I'm scared it will end up more than I can lose. I have always been overweight and have tried dieting but I only seem to want more when I do. Exercise felt like my only option. How can I maintain my weight/ lose weight so when I can be fully active I wont be so far behind? Please help!
