I am with you on this topic. I got hit with an injury that nearly stopped me walking at all. Take a very active person and force them to bed rest or sitting all day then find real weight gain even with reduced intake. Now add to those problems prescription medication that encourages weight gain, but the prescribing doctor never bothers to inform the patient. Life just is not fair. If I could do the running, walking, dancing of the past there would be no weight gain. Right now I would just be happy to be able to walk 50ft with out tear level pain.
