@jimiwho Prior to my initial back injury, and then my neck, I used to spend 2-3 hours/day in the gym lifting very heavy weights. I know what I used to feel like and look like. I always used to feel half my age. Now, I feel older than my age and have gained an extra 40 pounds, yet people still see me as a healthy guy who still works out! I see myself as an overweight senior citizen who can barely walk around the block and is not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds. I have a grandson who loves to spend time with me, but after a day with him, I'm in bed for a week! I do need a better vision of myself. I just don't know how to get there. The first step is to lose that extra 40 lbs! Then, maybe, my "vision" will improve!
