Why Is Weight Gain So Easy?

I have been off the diet for over a week because my doctor told me I need more fat and protein to heal. I weighed myself this morning...I'm up to 148. That's 9 pounds I've gained! In addition to gaining weight, this car accident has me in pain all the time. I spent almost the whole day in bed today, because I hurt too bad to do anything else. This was such an inconvenient time to get slammed into by a truck.
I'm trying to keep my spirits up, however. I know that our bodies respond to happiness, so I've been reading funny stuff online and watching funny videos this week. I am going to do everything I can to get healthy again, and get rid of this horrible pain. It will happen, because what we think, we are right? So, I say I am in the process of becoming stronger and healthier than I've ever been! I will keep saying this to myself and acting on it, so it will become a reality.
We are trying to find a house to move into right away...wish us luck! Tootles!
