I’m trying so hard to lose weight and I just got injured by a broken machine at the gym….

I’m so frustrated. I’m trying SO hard to lose weight and I just feel like the universe just doesn’t want me to. I have an existing pulled muscle in my arm and previously dislocated my shoulder due to an injury that occurred a year ago (also while working out). I’ve spent the last year slowly improving these injuries. My orthopedist and physical therapist both recommended me doing light lat pull downs to improve these injuries.

So tonight I was at a new gym and was on the lat pull down machine. The pin in the weights was jammed, I was unable to push it all the way in or take it out. But it was in probably at least 80% of the way and since it was jammed, it seemed pretty secure. But in the middle of doing a lat pull down, the pin came out causing the weights to crash out and the bar to yank my arm up super violently. So now my existing injury which was almost completely healed seems to be back to square one. I’m also a swimmer and am not able to swim with this injury. I just recently started swimming again as my injury has been better lately and now I won’t be able to swim again for a while most likely.

I am so upset. I have been working so hard to improve this injury and also lose weight. This is just so discouraging. I am going to try not to let this stop my weight loss journey, but I honestly don’t know when I will be able to workout again.
