This is the second time since October that I have been stuck in bed due to back pain. I have been through childbirth that required less pain killer. The great thing about childbirth was the disappearance of most of the weight following the pain. This weight now seems to be my friend...just keeps hanging around and always by my side, and my other side, and my middle and, well, you get the picture. Since working out is out of the question for the time being I'm going to start from the inside. Today marks the beginning of the divorce between me and junk food. It will be hard, I will cry, I will be lonely, and I'm sure I will be grouchy, but its time to say goodbye to my favorite pastime....consuming.
