My Committment

I never thought this would happen to me.  I have always been a strong person and handled stress relatively well.
Unfortunately it did - I succumbed to the evil Mr Depression and his cousin anxiety.
Some of the issues relating to this has come from my desire to have children, my weightloss issues and my body image issues.
I could easily have just given up on this program, but where would that get me?  If I have issues with my weight and they are causing my problem, wouldn’t being here be the exact remedy I need? right?

So here is my committment:

To Michelle - I promise to do all my pre-season tasks to the best of my ability.  I promise to put 100% effort into this programme - not just over the 12 weeks but afterwards (because my lack of committment to the round 3 in 2010 saw me put on all the weight I lost and I am back at the same starting point)

To myself - don’t let the illness ruin your life, remember that you have support from your family, friends and doctor, even when you fell like you can’t go on - think about JFDI and do it, you’ll thank yourself in the end.

To my family - I promise to get the old bec back (the happy bec) but to also bring the new bec in 2011 (physically, emotionally and spiritually), I want to live a long life and this is a tool for that, and to find ways to make our family dream come true.

To my doctor - i promise to tell you all my problems so that you can help me understand them and to fix them, i promise to do all my relaxation exercises you have set for me, i promise to eat healthier and to try and not resort to eating because I feel down, I promise to look after my body whilst you are looking after my mind.

And to my fellow 12wbt’ers, I welcome your support and encouragement.

  1. ability to handle stress or strength or person do no affect who does or doesn't get depression and anxiety hun, and suffering from them and needing treatment does not mean you are not strong - you actually show strength in seeking help. Good luck with overcoming them & all your goals xx
