    Starting is the hardest part so be proud you are taking the step again. Having small, realistic goals help a lot and before you know it those small goals add up. Too many think too big when starting and quickly get discouraged.

    Well done on starting. Sorry to hear about UC. I've had Crohns originally diagnosed as UC for 30 years with lots of flares and remission. Everyone is different and I try not to prevent crohns dictate what i eat or drink. My food diary is shared with friends. I find balanced diet, intermittent fasting and exercise keep me well (plus about 10 tablets a day ;-) )
    Good luck
