    OMG I just noticed this post. I don't think i have EVER inspired everyone. Really pleased that my story has helped someone else.

    All i can advise at the moment is to think positive. Months ago I thought my world had crashed in (and being fair, it had) But just two months on i have a very positive view on life. I have so much to live for and by making a small change each and every day I've realised that i can turn things around.

    One thing at a time Anastacia.

    My finances are tight but i make them stretch by doing pinecone surveys and saving piggypoints for boots vouchers. Also had a bit of a clear out and sold stuff on ebay.

    As far as holidays go, theres no way i can afford to go away but i've a week off work in august and have treated myself to a new bikini so that i'll "feel" like i'm on holiday while i sunbathe in my parents garden.

    Really brought a tear to my eye reading your post, not only for you, but for me too realising how far i've come on my journey.

    Best of luck, you can do it x

    we started with the book and now he goes to one of the co-ordinators. I honestly cant praise it enough.

    Thanks Anastacia,

    I ordered the book this morning.

    Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days so I can work with DS over the next 6 weeks.

    Thanks again for the recommendation :beer:
