The journey begins…..

Here it goes….

My journey in trying to find myself, in trying to become healthier, not just in weight but in body, mind and soul. To explore what it takes to eat healthily, live healthily , move healthily and try make my mental health healthier.

We live in a world of hate and anger, of judgement and criticism and no doubt I’ll recieve some for this page and blogs but I believe that the good out weighs the bad and I can’t wait to connect with amazing, inspirational people who may fall upon this. To help raise others up, as we all should, to spread a little kindness and to bring people together.

Life can be hard and we all walk our own paths and have our own stories but every story counts.

After loosing my dad at the age of 58, I decided that it was time to sort my health out once and for all, my dad dying at such a young age made it hit home to me that we really need to look after ourselves, and if I didn’t do it now, I would too die young. Leaving behind my children.

Also I wanted to enjoy what life I did have, I wanted to be able to run and play with my children, I wanted to do activities or even just enjoy getting dressed up and going out. I wanted to climb mountains, I wanted to jump on the trampoline with my kids or run around a play centre with them. I wanted to teach them healthy ways of life and see them enjoy an active life with their mum joining in the fun not watching from the side.

My weight was affecting my health too. I had mobility problems which were getting worse, that I was sure would see me permanently disabled in later life. I always had a headache and was always tired.

I’ve dieted before but always put the weight back on and found them hard to stick to fully, I was always left hungry and always left thinking about food and when I can next eat again. So I made the decision to have weight loss surgery. I researched all different prodecures and different clinics before deciding what I wanted to do and with who. I then meet with my surgeon, who made me feel really at ease and I knew then that it was the right decision. I then booked my surgery. On the 23rd February 2019, I will be having a gastric sleeve.

So here the journey begins….
