I just had a lol moment reading the title I gave this blog because it sounds like a confessional.
In truth it isnt.
I stopped blogging because life got away with me.
I started my journey the 1st of January this year. I had crippling rheumatoid arthritis, a low negative state of mind, and an inability to work because of the above two points.
From the 1st of January my whole mentality changed and I started on my duromine journey and a healthy eating lifestyle. Every step of the way I credited this online forum as a secret to my success as I made sure I blogged every week & wrote lots of posts of my struggles as I believed then (and still believe now) it held me accountable.
About a week before my last post (3 & 1/2 months ago) I got a job. Now this was a massive deal because I hasn't been able to work for almost two years. I stopped blogging not because I changed my eating or anything like that but simply because I didnt have the same amount of free time.
Over the past 3 months my eatting certainly relaxed a bit. Not terribly so, But I did stop calorie counting. I was more lenient on my wine consumption (who doesn't like a glass if red after a crappy day at work). I didn't go for my daily walks because I was now in an office all day. And I stopped weighing myself.
I still had one months worth of duromine left which I had been saving for October due to the fact I'm getting married in November.
I had wanted to come back on here so many times over the past couple of months but I thought that it would have been weird after being so quiet for so long.
So why the change to come back and blog now?
Last week I had my 6 monthly appointment with my Rheumatoid Specialist. I'm in remission!! My debilitating disease is in remission!! I cried when my specialist told me because I knew part of the reason was because I had lost so much weight and had been so careful with my food and drink choices.
I decided to begin my last prescription of duromine last Sunday. It's taken 6 days for me to get the nerve to come back and blog, but I'm back
Same focus, same attitude, same determination and same accountability.
For anyone reading this who has mistakingly taken this blog as an ommision that I stopped duromine and stacked back on all the weight I had lost, you would be incorrect. Yes I did put on weight in the past 3 months. But not because I stopped duromine. It was because I stop being 110% careful with everything I ate all the time and deffinately drank more wine. Im proud to say I still have not had even an ouce of soft drink all year. And also, to put things in perspective, the weight I put on over the past three month was just under 2kgs.
This whole year has been my weight lost journey. Not just the periods I've taken duromine.
Starting weight = 85.7kg
Current weight = 64.7kg
I can't wait to hear more positive and inspiring stories from others.
