Mrs T - I just don't have the words to tell you how proud of you I am. After the truly awful start you had, with the trouble with the scales, you have shown such courage and determination. I know you've had a "blip", but you're back on track, all I can say is well done, but it doesn't come close to how I feel.
Debbie - keep us informed about the job, it sounds SO interesting.
2 years ago, after the inquest into my son's death, I did an interview for Radio Derby. They also made a TV report, which was on Central News. I did these things for my son, and so that the world at large would know what had happened. I never did look at the TV piece, because I just knew I looked so awful. Anyway, I have been in touch with the lady who did the original piece for the radio - she wanted to do another interview about how people cope after bereavement. Well, we got talking about how my life has changed, and this afternoon I did another interview - we did it at the gym, and put a positive slant on how my life has changed, and how a degree of happiness can eventually follow total despair. Of course, I talked about Cambridge, and my weight loss journey, as this has played a large part in my "recovery". I also told her about the wonderful support I have received on - line.
Also I have bought a suit for the Cambridge Conference on Saturday, as it si "business dress". I went all over the place, but of all places ended up buying it at Matalan. Shopping for a suit had it's frustrations, as they are sold as separates nowadays, and no one had my size in both jacket and skirt!!! A familiar feeling from the old days, but one I can put up with when the size they don't have is a 12!!
Just sent another WeMitt fleece out to Steph, so it's nice to know there are "Winter WeMitts" out ther - the original lot, including me, were in T shirts in the summer.
Welcome again, all nrre WeMitts.
