Default Re: What Was THAT Defining Moment For You?

Hi Koh, Thank you for bumping this post.. Sometimes we forget why we started, what our defining moment was, I went back to my original diary to read what I had written, this is what I said:

Quote:
I am doing this because I had become very concerned about my health, was very worried I would not be around to see my grandchildren grow up. The other day I was running with two of my grandchildren chasing me, it felt so good!!
My health had become very bad, breathlessness, high blood pressure, so much pain in my lower back and legs that I thought I would end up in a wheel chair, I could only walk a short distance and I would have to sit down mostly because of the pain I was in. Until I started Cohens and started to lose weight I never knew that my family and friends were also very worried about my health and mobility. They were all behind me 100% during my initial journey, I loved all the praise and compliments. I was flying high, but when all that stops all the old self doubt creeps back in, and all the bad eating habits of the last 30 years take over again.
But over the last couple of months I have been dealing with those demons and tuning them around, it is up to me to make myself feel good about who I am, not other people, my family and friends love me weather I am fat of thin, but I know I have more energy for them when I am at an ideal weight, I am sure I must be better company when I feel good about myself and the key for me is to be in control of what goes in my mouth. I love myself again and have stopped beating myself up for my mistakes, I am back on programme with a very different attitude to when I started back in 2010.
Cheers Marg

My daughter posting holiday photos of us on Facebook. Reality is painful and i had no control on how could view these.

After hearing about cohens when two radio personalities joined up, my life freeing up, and hating people complimenting me on my clothes which I hated but brought because they fitted - That defining moment appeared and as they say "the rest is history".
