    Am realising I have a very unhealthy obsession with exercise. I've a knee injury that's preventing me from getting my usual daily exercise and the thought of eating without exercising is genuinely bothering me. This knee needs to sort itself out quick before I lose the plot completely

    Can you modify your exercise routine? Skip knee things and roll with everything else?

    Yes, how about going for a swim? Zero impact.
    But the fact that you feel bad about eating just because you can't exercise due to injury might be something to be concerned about, as it sounds like a prelude to an eating disorder. The body needs rest sometimes!

    Yeah I do have issues around eating, have always been quite obsessive about exercising. Unfortunately very little I can do that doesn't involve my knee, other than swimming as you suggest but I haven't been swimming in about 10 years and not likely to go now I'm afraid. Hopefully if I keep icing it I'll be able to get back to my normal routine soon

    How about doing a bunch of stomach crunches and lower leg strengthening (cross your legs, and just move the foot on the leg on top up and down using the ankle. This is a GREAT workout for the lower leg!)? And butt clenches. :)
    Rest that knee.

    sorry for your tribulation i hope you find something to make you better or at least feel and cope better..

    bonsoir..
    been thinking about good things and
    feel hopeful until negativity creeps in
    so i stay away from socialising for the
    moment and it makes me feel better
    sorry..
    but dreaming is a great escape
    sometimes..
    have a sweet sleep and take care..
    im going to hop off now and listen to
    music..
