Time Slipping Away

 

Time has been going so fast and although I haven't been in the best of spaces and haven't been very communicative that feels like the year is slipping through my hands.

I still have a lot of retained fluids they have not been able to shake. It really appears that I need to really concentrate on what I need to prioritise. And for me that means eating Whole Foods and getting rid of the sugar which I'm struggling with. It's made me very depressed and makes me feel like it's no point so I've shut myself away. 

I've also been reading a couple pages from reading Small Bites Daily Inspirations for Weight loss surgery patients that my friends Katie Jay wrote years ago and it still resonates everyday when I pick it up.

Today it really highlighted that I procrastinate.

We need to eat. We need to bathe. We need to sleep ,

I'm a little bit confused about I am procrastinating or just digging in my heels because I still want to be able to eat sugar and I love it all. Where the reality is that I can't I need to be real I need to make sacrifices for me to be able to get the right outcome so maybe this isn't a choice maybe it is just what I have today.

Things to remember.

 

I've been lying low Since Easter camp and caught up with other friends. It was really good to be able to go for the full event because we had the caravan with us and it meant that I could rest when I needed to. My friends Nora help me do some lymphatic massage techniques and so since then I've been pretty much staying at home keeping my feet elevated and then rereading some information about and phlegm at three types of foods and how they cut help me reduce sugars so stop you want

it seems like to last couple of months I've not really focused on my nutrition and have been easing pretty things don't really align with how I should be. But some of them are so yummy and very hard to stop.

 

Connections

On my last post I talked about friends varied mighty friendship base as and how this this collection of people they have made connections with don't necessarily know each other or even have anything related to each other, but they all mean something to me.

After talking with the friends after that post I talked to her about half for me amazing new person is a exciting way to build connections and see if I have something in common or I can engage with. I think that's why I like even being on a bus or train when I can chat and just talk to people and share information and ideas.

This week also showed me that connections can really last even if you don't see each other often. On Sunday I went off to a coffee group for and driving there thought an old friend I haven't talked to for for a long time coming out her your driveway in person so I stopped and caught up. Funnily I bumped at the supermarket today.

Again, this week I met another person workmate who I haven't seen years Is it is I'm more recent colleague at the supermarket. Simon was probably getting frustrated as I kept bumping into people checking in on how I was doing and I was re-establishing connections.

When I think about my connections now, I love how varied it is. Old school mates, family, blogging, workmates, support groups WLS including  Aortic dissection awareness to Aphasia.  And let’s forget my involvement mediaeval reenactment.
