Well, it's not as dramatic as the title may suggest, but I've torn AGAIN my left knee meniscus, the same one I broke 3 years ago and had surgery on almost two years ago. It took me 15 months from the surgery to walk okay, and now it's fucked up again. (and even before this last event, it was understood that running was a souvenir from the past).
I do not expect anyone has been reading this rambling blog for the last 10 years or so, but running used to be a big part of my life - until 3 years ago. And then, I got fat: no wonder, as I eat the same (or more) and I used to run something in between 18km and 40km per week.
In any case, there is no way I'm repeating surgery . frankly speaking, it was SO NOT WORTH IT - the pains were much more significant than the benefits.
The only problem is this only leaves me one option which is to lose weight. And instead, of course, I keep gaining :-(
PS how did I tear it this time? Oh, by doing exactly the exercises that all doctors and physiotherapists have suggested I do. What the fuck.

Sorry to hear about your knee. I have little faith in doctors too. They never seem to help much. I am sure you will find a new routine to lose weight once you set your mind to it.
People talk about the way I exercise every day at lunch. The tiny portions of energy bars and canned chicken I eat during the day, but it works. It is a sacrifice and it is not easy but I can see the benefits. Hopefully, you can reduce the stresses in your life in other areas to allow you the chance.
