Sorry Bel, I know you are just trying to help. Maybe he doesn't even care about it but Im taking it personally I guess because I was attacked abotu my running a few years ago and was told I needed to stop (and it wasn't in a nice way at all). They made me feel like a freak. I didn't listen really but every time I ran I felt like I was doing something wrong and that there was somethign wrong with me! I stopped enjoying myself and my IBS was worse then ever. I became almost obsessive about how I wanted to run more and then I felt guilty about it, just like with the IBS. I became extremely depressed. ONe of the reasons they told me to stop becuase I was very thin and couldnt eat maybe as much as I could- but guess what, I ended up runnign less but losing more weight because I was so depressed and anxious all the time. I guess reading your posts made me remember all that. I just didn't want him to feel the way I had when it was done to me. Sorry!
