Today I weighed me, the first time since I was weighed at the doctors back in December. Back then, the nurse who weighed me gave me a lecture and was really patronising. I had explained that for six months I'd been unable to walk or exercise daily and that's why the weight had gone back on. She just said well you won't lose what you did previously. Oh no? Today I weighed on 2 stone lighter than I was in December. Because I'm walking and able to exercise again. My walking is aided, but I do as much now as I could before the fall. Honestly these medical professionals need to be more encouraging and less disparaging.
I knew once I was able to get going again in my own limited fashion I could do it again. Don't ever let them talk down to you, they aren't perfect themselves. Most of them are overweight and eat rubbish.
