To all my weight loss journey followers, friends and supporters. This post has taken me quite sometime to write and post.....so thank you for taking a minute (or so) to read. Some of you may know or realise that I have had some difficult times over the last 18 months, feeling very angry about my heart problem along with varying personally upsetting situations for myself and my family and this has resulted in me having some weight gain (as Im sure youve noticed but are all to kind to comment) and culminating in a period of depression and anxiety relapse. With support and medication from a fantastic Doctor, talking therapy, a fantastic management team and colleagues, amazing friends (I hope you all know who you are, so many to mention) and my wonderful family I feel in am on the road to improvement!! My management team have been so supportive that I have been able to remain at work and kind enough to offer me the extra support of another 6 months on Live Well, I have opted to do this at Pocklington, to separate me from work.....I havent posted up to now, as I needed to feel like Im getting somewhere! Up to now, my first month, I have lost 10lbs and feeling more motivated.....some days are still a struggle, but I am armed with my tools!! I will also be undertaking some work around relapse, relapse prevention and some CBT on dealing with the dark days without resorting to food or sleep....which I hope will also help me continue my work with supporting people with weight issues. I also have some goals to work towards, obviously a wedding and holiday, but also a tough mudder challenge (providing my pesky knee sorts itself). With all of this in mind, I would like to say if you have seen me about and I wasnt myself or if you havent heard from or seen me....now you know why, I hope I have not caused offence and plan to catch up with everyone in the near future. Thank you reading and supporting me through this long journey....without the downs there wouldnt be ups, you have all helped in keeping me going, so I ask my army of support to stick with me, I wont ever give up....it just may take me a while! Love and thanks to you all xxx
