This afternoon I met with my doctor and got my form signed and stamped for me to begin lighter life. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and I am very relieved that that bit is done.
I have also been so lucky to have so many nice wishes from those reading this blog and those I speak to on Twitter. It is amazing that people I have never even met have wished me well.
My friends and family have so far been supportive too. Today I had a little bump though and it's knocked me quite a bit. A colleague who had been so 'pushy' for me to go for it and lose weight on lighter life, and who constantly encouraged me to do it, really upset me today. She came and asked about my appointment and then before I could finish, she jumped in telling me a horror story of her friends husband who got really ill on it. She told me he lost 12 stone but was really ill, she didn't know how he got ill, or why he still continued on it if he was ill. She was telling me as if I shouldn't do it. So I went to the bathroom and cried! I think there has to be a point where I become stronger and listen to myself and not those that speak without thinking of the consequence. It's made me worried that others close to me might stop supporting me along the way. But I will never know until I continue my journey.
Now to organise my start day.
