I decided when i was aproaching 40 that i needed to be lighter. i was nearly 19 stone in weight and was out of breath walking up stairs. i found out from my nurse at my gp surgery about a new diet (meal replacement) that my gp was recommending to patients. it was a little expensive but after talking to my hubby he said go for it. if your happy i am happy.
i took the leap and lost 3 stone in 3 month went from a size 26 to size 18.. I felt awesome. Untill this i only had one health condition called erticaria, skin condition that was under control with antihystermines. i kept the weight off for a few year and in this time my health seamed to go from bad to worse. apart from being out of breath i considered myself healthy up untill the weight loss.
I was diagnosed with angioedema 2 years ago after 2 year of probelems with my skin, face swelling, tongue mouth and most body parts. i was diagnosed with arthritis in my foot, i have pills for joint pains which are at times realy bad i cant move. I have depression problems die to all the things i feel are dragging me down, i was having problems with my functions, spasms in my right hand, complete loss of use of my right leg meaning i fall a lot, i lose my speach and cant remember words or what i was talking about. 6 months ago i was diagnosed with a cognative functional dissorder, i have no balance and i have now been told i have under active thyroids, high blood preasure and i am retaining water.
I have seen my weight creep up a lot while i have been dealing with this and feel its time to put it right. i have set myself a goal of 70lb in the first stage see how i go. and this diet bet is a great way for me to put faith in myself to have a good start, not to a new me just an improved me, i will not be beaten by my illnesses i will be me again.. bring it on...
