Pleasant Pastures

My dear friends

It's been a long time since my last post and I thought you might appreciate an update.

All is well, I am happy to report. In January 2012 I began calorie watching using an app made by fatsecret.com. To date I have lost just over 10 kgs without depriving myself of anything. My doctor is happy with my progress as losing weight slowly gives the body and mind time to adjust.

A few months later, in May, I met a wonderful guy on a dating site. My daughter took to him instantly. He is also a father which makes things easier. For the first time in my life I've understood that my hunger was emotional hunger - I was craving for love. My boyfriend is fulfilling this need so well that I've had no need for sweets and snacks! I don't know how long this will last but I am enjoying the present.

When I look back at myself, I realise that I have made huge progress in the past 10 months. I've come out of my shell, tried new things like the choirs of which I am a member, overcame my emotional barrier and opened myself up to the world around me and took better care of my health. This has in turn resulted to finding Mr Right when I was not looking.

There is always hope for the future so please do not despair. You too can turn your lives around and achieve your targets. It's never too late!

I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.

With love
