I was super active, played a few sports, then seriously injured an abdominal muscle (some type of hernia - it was brutal). I couldn't do anything for a few months, I probably gained ten pounds. I couldn't imagine an injury that could last my entire life, in particular something like the one that I had. In a day I was burning the minimum amount of calories, anything I ate was potentially going to stay on me. Ten pounds may seem like nothing, but I tried as hard as I could to keep the weight off, had I been injured for a year who knows how much I would have gained.
