Thanks Chrissy. You know what. The friends i have made on this forum (even though i've only met one of you IRL) are so valuable. IRL i get told that i'm depressed, unhappy, unwilling etc etc - mainly my mum - and that talking on the internet is not healthy for me. Well, she's wrong. I feel so empowered and happy here because i'm helping others and encoraging others and for you to tell me that you are proud of me, it really means the world. Maybe my mother thinks i'm all those things because for my whole life she has put me down, that i can no longer be bothered fighting her, so she sees me as those things. I haven't told her about my new lifestyle change, because i know she'll be telling me what i should and shouldn't be doing (mind you, she is a big girl too, so can't talk!), and i'm doing this for ME.
So thank you, and to the rest of you girls, you are all so wonderful, and i don't know where i would be without you all. You're the ones that have made me realise that i am so much more than what was drilled into my head - and even at 29yrs of age, it's still happening - and i can't thank you enough.
Keep up the good work girls. We are all doing fantastically and we deserve our achievements.
MAZ - I want to see lots of these.....![]()
