Hi!!!! On day 2 today, not feeling to bad, just freezing cold!!! What's driven me to this (again)? Well last Monday I was due to o for a consultation for WLS. However on the Sunday I completed a gruelling 147 mile bike ride. From coast 2 coast. I cycled from Whitehaven in Cumbria all the way to Sunderland. I reckon I could be thee fattest person to even attempt it never mind complete!!! I nearly killed me. One hill we went up was 1902ft high but it was about a 2-3 mile struggle to get to the top, 17% gradient! Absolutely agonising. There were 14 of us, I was the slowest, struggling up this, hill, I had a friend, who was struggling too, everyone in particular was supportive but Lindsay helped me the most. She pushed me to the next lamppost and a each lamppost we'd have a rest, I'd catch my breath, have a cry, throw up, even experienced my first panic attack, well apparently that's what it was. She didn't give up, she kept pushing, and I hated her for it! But she got me there, I got o the top and everyone was there cheering, the cycle down was thee best!!!! 15 miles without having pedal hardly, beautiful views, it was such an amazing experience. When I got o the top of that hill, I realised I can do absolutely anything, so long as I have got that support behind me, and people pushing me to that next lamp post!!!!
I'm going to do it this time, and I'm going to keep it off. I can do anything!!!!
