Hi all
So here I am in the aftermath of a life changing experience.
On the 7th May 2013 I got the biggest shock of my life in the form of blood clots in both lungs.The person who always said "It won’t happen to me I will never be sick" well folks it did!
But why me? I am still searching for answers that I may never get, anyway I am here now and it’s time to get on with it! No more excuses! No more oh I will start tomorrow.
I have always had an active job and a fairly active lifestyle but as the years pressed on I noticed a decline in my enthusiasm to keep myself in shape, No surprises when the scales tipped 240lbs.
Those 5 days lying in ER really gave me the time i needed to plan my mode of attack and get well again
I have kept myself in the background just logging and reading the wealth of info that is out there which has helped me enourmously
It has been fantastic finding MFP and after leaving hospital the weight has been falling off, even with the small amount of exercise I am allowed to do.
I have never been this focused on food in my whole life and probably never eaten this healthy.
Thanks MFP and thanks to the friends i have made here for sharing their knowledge
