  • Happy New Year Taxi, well done on all you've achieved/overcome. I assume your silence over the smoking means you feel ashamed for starting again? Well don't, the fact you have/are trying is enough, its not easy obviously and you will stop completely when you've finished practising.

    Take care

    Happy New Year, Taxi. :hello:

    I'm not on here as much these days but I still play catch up on your diary. Well done for all the achievements of the past year. The weight loss is quite mindblowing.
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    Taxi, how great is that - the achievements, and the plans. The illness brought you so low, of course it did, but you're climbing back up, and doing it all in a new way too. Good for you, and I hope that those 2012 goals fall to you really speedily.

    Thank you everyone,I'm really humbled by all your lovely comments.I hope 2012 also brings you your wishes too.
    Last night and today I've been extremely bored so guess that means I'm getting better as I need to be doing something...don't know what I just know I do IYSWIM.Will be doing my course for a few hours each day this week and will be glad when everything returns to normal as in banks,offices etc being open as I've quite a few jobs to do but can't do them as everywhere is shut.
    We are off to York in a few weeks so will be a nice break for DH and myself.

    Thats a fantistic weight loss Taxi - puts me to shame the length of time I've taken trying to shift just 1 stone LOL - you should be SO proud.

    As for the smoking - I'm guessing you have been a smoker for a long time - so realistically it won't be easy to stop!!

    All the other achievements are pretty good too - especially the anniversary for the end of treatment.

    Here's to a healthy, happy and wealthy 2012.

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    You've been an inspiration to everyone, and you've tackled everything head on, and haven't let it beat you, you've beat it. The break in York sounds lovely, you both deserve it........
