Evening all, 

A month before this round of BCG I was exercising regularly and eating well, this led to me sleeping well and feeling good.

fast forward to now, I’ve stopped all exercise and am eating like a pig…I ate so much tonight I actually threw up. Why do I do it? 

angry with myself….

sorry for the rant..

  • We eat for comfort especially comfort food it's only natural. 

    I am the king of procrastination so I'm not one to talk about not getting exercise. 

    But you can get back on track I know you can. I have full faith in you. Me not so much Rofl

  • Hi Nigel 

    try not to be to hard on yourself it’s that time of year where the weather is poor and opportunities to get outside in decent weather and exercise are limited and are reliant on said weather as for the eating snacking well your not on your own everybody enjoys their food pal good thing is you’ve noticed there has been a change your not happy with and as you have before you will find a way to address it

  • Morning all, 

    thank you all, last night turned into a full blown panic attack…had to call the emergency services out…luckily for me, they sorted me out without the need for an ambulance…I just couldn’t stop the anxiety, 

    love to you all

  • Hi my friend, 

    please don't be so critical of yourself. You needed some comfort, so you ate a little too much. You will get there Nigel. Honestly, I don't think anyone sails through this journey of cancer without falling over now and again. The most important thing is that you be your own best friend man. I am sure you wouldn't berate a good friend the way you do to yourself . What would you say ?  You are a lovely kind person who needs a bit of a helping hand now and again. I am so sorry to hear you had a panic attack , its a frightening experience. You made good strides going forward and yesterday you took a little step back. You will go forward again and we are all here right beside you mate. Take good care xx

    Much love Angela x

  • Hi Angela, it’s knocks me for six…im still very anxious now….its a horrible feeling…

    I’ll be ok in a couple of days x
