So apparently I’ve lost 2stone despite whats been going on…
I just got back from seeing my cardiologist and I must say, I feel happy.
First things first, my blood pressure is better than it was 6months ago, which is pleasing. I think the words used where “it’s now at a controllable level” so that in itself is a bit of a relief. They wanted to weigh me on a set of scales which only go up to 24 stone. I reminded them that the last time I was there I needed special scales as I weighed over 24stone 6months ago. I also told them I hadn’t lost any weight, which I believed to be the case due to the on-off bout of depression and emotional related eating. To my suprise I have lost 30lbs without being completely focused on losing weight.
At first the nurses told me it was 1 stone and a half that I lost, but the doctor cleared it up as the nurses got their charts mixed up. The doctor also said he is very impressed that I have lost 2 stone, which made me think in my head what I could be losing if I was focusing on actually doing it properly. So right now I am very, very happy. Forthe first time I actually walked along the street smiling (I usually ask myself why people do that, walking whilst smiling. Today I found out).
So what I want to say to anyone who is or has been feeling as powerless, depressed, or just plain bad as me is that there is hope. No matter what you might think, no matter if you think your will power has gone, it hasn’t. You can get better if you really want to, all you need is support from family, friends and the great people here at Buddyslim. We’re all here with the same problem, albeit in different magnitudes but we feel empathy and we all want to help and be supportive.
I hope you all have a great day.

I’m on a roll today, went to see my GP too and asked her to refer me to the weight management class she recommended some months ago. She believes I can be an inspiration for other people if I keep going.
Things are looking up for once and I am loving it!
I am so happy for you. You thought you couldn’t do it and now you are smiling and taking walks way to go. I am really happy for you, to see that you have a total outlook for life now. Soon you will be able to play with your kids you will see. Take care
