janebennett's Journal, 02 January 2017

Well here I go again, another year and weighing more than ever, I can't say exactly how much because I am to embarrassed to get on the scales, that will be for another day, if I am brave enough I might do it tomorrow :-(
I have only just realised how long ago I was last on this site,lots of difficult things have happened since then and its safe to say that I have used food and alcohol as a coping mechanism once again. The death of a family member, the NHS service that I had successful built up over the last 10 years, sold out to an education establishment. Being given a brand new service to start up on the same pay scale even though it takes an extra hour a day to commute and with five times as many staff who have all been 'slotted in' and have had pay cut and hours reduced so do not want to work for the NHS anymore.
I need to get rid of this excess flab because I am finding it is, along with my fibromyalgia really impacting on my ability to move without constant pain.
So hopefully I have come through the tough stuff and I am starting to turn the corner.

I find using the things that pain me are the same things that can either move you forward or hold you back....choose the forward motion. Sadly we cant control anything outside of ourselves but we can control our weight. Wishing you lots of success and strength :)

Thank you for your kind words, they really make perfect sense. However having re-read what I have written I must apologise for wallowing in self pity I know it's all my own doing and I shouldn't try to find excuses
