Hi everyone, i apologize in advance for the lengthy read, but I feel it best to post the details so theres answers to questions any might have.
a couple years ago, i was in an accident that left me with a broken L2 (lower lumbar,spinal), yes its still broken and sadly they never saw the break till 3 months after the accident so i guess i missed out on crucial pt that maybe could have helped me. I've done pt.. doesn't help with pain, its bar able, more like a constant back ache, I'm hunching over a lot now... hurts to sit upright. after the accident while i was practically immobile, i gained 40 lbs (my family thought food would make me feel better about it all, and i was soooo bored) eventually after a year and a half, i went down to 143, not back to where i was but close. i didnt work out, still drank soda and ate normal. then i hot the paraguard (birth control) and although they say it has no hormones, my body completely disagreed with this foreign object....i went back up to 168 in a about 10 months, during this time i cut out soda and ate sandwiches... only drank water... not a pound loss, only gained. i began to experience all the pms i never did before and was bloated 3 weeks out of the month. i took it out 2 months ago, and my period came almost a month late but i was seriously posing the entire time.... still having these symptoms but I'm now at 166.. so with that being said i feel my hormones are triggering a weight gain, plus the stress (cortisol?) how do i minimize all this? (bloodwork is normal, just low vit d)
so besides going up against a back injury, ( I've gone for a run, i was practically crying after 10 minutes,,, i literally layer down at the gym)
and a possible hormone/chemical imbalance....i also have a hard time planning meals and cooking. I'm currently in a hotel ( flooded home) so no kitchen but even when i move back i have a severely autistic brother who loves destroying EVERYTHING in the fridge and cabinets. my moms really passive and doesn't really stop him in time to save the milk .ect. we even lock it and still someone leaves it open.... I've bought food just for the day, and one sec i turn around soy sauce is dumped all over it.... or shampoo. I'm not saying this happens every day but 3 out of 5 times i try to cook... its unsuccessful, and i know that can have an impact on a strict diet. one last thing, i went on a recumbent bike today, kept my heart ratre at 170 for 40 minutes, i did sweat a lot, but it says i only burned 210 cal.... how do i get fit?
