[quote=Anonymous]I dunno if this will help you. But I'm a very healthy woman in my late 30s. I've been slim and active my whole life. I had a life crisis (not going to go into more details here) that was not physical in nature, but to deal with it, I stopped exercising and eating right for about... 10-12 months?

Then my back went out. I mean OUT. Couldn't walk, couldn't sit, couldn't play with my kids, couldn't do anything other than lay flat on my back. Was in pain all the time. It was horrible. I was basically flat on my back for three months. Intensive physical therapy and I'm pretty much back to normal, but it took months. Basically, per my physical therapist, carrying more weight on my body plus my muscles atrophying basically meant my core couldn't hold me up anymore.

When you're 22, you can neglect your body for a year and get right back into it. Once you're over 35? Forget it. Don't be me. Take care of your physical healthy. I exercise 6x a week now religiously, and I'll never make that mistake again. [/quote]
