Why can't chocolate be the answer? 

Sniff.

Not only have I put on a lot of weight lately (my si fu went back to China for summer I also took summer break from exercise :P), my back, neck and shoulders have been pretty painful the last few weeks!!!

Also have been encountering a bit more manic mood swings and everything is telling me to EXERCISE.

So okok, started exercising again today and can you believe it, I couldn't even twist fully initially during warm up because my back was stiff and painful.

I can cope with being fat (barely) but I certainly can't cope with the neck and shoulder pains. Sigh.
