Hi steve, no it's fine that you asked. I'm up about 3.5 lbs from my ideal weight (122). There were a couple things that contirbuted to thisweight gain. 1. I have chronic pain below my breastbone which the doctor's don't know the cause of. Within the last couple of months it has worsened to the point where I just can't exercise anymore because being inconstant pain (and running around after my toddler) just sucks all the energy out of me. Not to mention I'm usually recoving from some surgery or procedure. It seems, though, that we may be on the brink of finding out what is wrong, after 15 months of pain. and 2. I was on a diet for 18 months. In that amount of time I forgot what normal is. So sometimes I eat exactly like I used to on my diet and then some days I go crazy. I'm having a hard time finding that balance. so there you have it.
