About six weeks ago I left a message on here saying how overwhelmingly lonely and unhappy I’ve been for a while . A few lovely mnetters gave me some fabulous advice and one poster suggested I do RED January (for Mind) along with her . I’ve long since lost that thread and can’t remember her username unfortunately .
I wanted to say though, I’m so chuffed with myself as through doing that challenge - to get more active - I’ve managed to lose about 10lb or so - a huge deal for me as I was 22/23 stone in December and was stuck in a cycle of bingeing that began when I was about 6 or 7 .
I’m eating better, I’m waking earlier and I’m slowly going out more and more . I’ve tracked my steps and I’ve walked more this month than since last August . I’m delighted.
GP told me a few weeks ago that she was seriously concerned she was going to tell me I was T2 diabetic before I’ve even turned 30, ran off blood tests on Wednesday . Surgery phoned me this morning to tell me I’m not diabetic .
I’m absolutely delighted and relieved in equal measures . It’s given me a boost again to carry on .
Socially I’ve also managed to reconnect slowly with some old friends and have met a couple of new ones through Facebook .
So an enormous thank you to those posters, I wish I remembered your usernames ! Very proud of myself tonight
