The anniversary of Michael’s death seems like a significant time for so many of us. Some lovely words of remembrance on here, and it’s also so good that many are being inspired to strengthen our resolve and look after ourselves better.
ARCTICFOX you sound stronger in every post. I suspect that this time last year you would not have been able to face filling in those forms and, painful though it has been, it is another milestone on you moving forward. And the strategy of working through why you are doing something before you decide to do it sounds really helpful. Keep on going, and keep on posting. It is a joy to be allowed to share your progress.
HEIDI lovely to hear from you and you are so right in that we can control what we do. A bit similar to what Arcticfox was saying in a way : if we take responsibility for our actions and make rational decisions before taking those actions, we can do this! I’m so sorry to hear of your family problems, but so pleased you are looking after yourself. It’s a bit like the airplane oxygen mask analogy : if you are not making sure you are strong and fit, you will be less able to help those around you. Well done!
POOTLE your weight loss is amazing!! 5.5 stone down and reversing diabetes is an incredible achievement, particularly in the time frame of a year. What a fabulous tribute to Michael and an inspiration to us all. I’m so pleased for you!
Hi to everyone else on here too. Must dash as I’m heading out now but will check in again later in the week X
