Sometimes i just want to give up......

I really don't know how I can write this but here goes.....

I've been disabled for 7 years now I've had numerous lower back surgeries, especially when a doctor puts screws in the wrong place makes me mad but it is what it is. I've struggled with exercising and eating healthy for a lot of years until Jan. of this year. I went to see a back specialist and they now state I need another surgery L2, L3 so I have had enough. I was searching the internet and I came across a EFL forum I've read what everyone posted and I was like Wow! Okay, so I went and bought 2 books one was the Eating Right For Life, and the other Body For Life. It took me almost 2 weeks to read through the books but when I did I was so pumped up that I said this will be for me. I started my transformation on Feb1st my wife and I do see some changes in my body as well as feeling totally awesome, I went from 224 to 201 in 11 weeks, I am so proud of myself but I running into some problems and I just feel like giving up. My exercising isn't much because of my disability there are times when I do a bit too much I get excruiating pain down my legs and I fall over at times. I cannot even walk I would have to stop working out for a couple of weeks. It gets me very angry inside of me but I just don't know what else to do? Honestly though everyday I get up I just want to say I can't go on but then I see how far I've come and it keeps me going. I just get tired I guess, when I saw that Bill Phillips redone this website I was like kool, cause I tell ya there are times when I could sure use some support. Anyways I just wanted to share a bit about myself.
God bless
