I seriously hate my back.
Hate it.
What if I can't run because of it?
Right now that is my worst fear. I'm afraid that after I lost all this weight (again) that I'm not going to be able to do something I love. Something that I haven't been able to do in so very long.
And that really upsets me. It really depresses me.

I have back problems that have left me unable to run at times. What kind of problems do you have?
Hi Sarah! I'm so sorry about your back. I'm in a similar position-- I was doing so well shedding weight with running and I've hurt my ankle/foot and I can't run. It's bumming me out but I'm really trying to look at as an opportunity to try other forms of exercise that I wouldn't normally do: biking, swimming etc. I actually got that from a running article, which said one benefit of injury is it forces crosstraining, which can make you a better runner.
Sending you skinny, healthy thoughts.
Aw sweetie ... I'm sorry it's giving you such grief! The end of this month marks 15 years since my initial "you really shouldn't run anymore" back injury. Oooooh how I was mortified! As soon as I was given the okay, though, I bought my mountain bike & fell in love. Several years later came the "you know, street riding probably isn't such a good idea anymore with your knee/back/whatever" ... and then came the recumbent. IF something happens and you can't run you'll find something else ... I know you will!
