Hi Girls, its been awhile. I was diagnosed in 2013, had chemo and four operations and was left with not much confidence in my body which I'd treated pretty well, I thought, only to be betrayed by ...

Hi chibipink,
Well done you - whatever it takes to keep you motivated! :) I think you look amazing BTW...
I've been on Tamox for 2.5 yrs - I put on 5 kilos in the first 4 months and freaked out/got miserable, so stayed that way for a while thinking well, this is it then - then thought, no stuff it, I have to try.
It is wayyyyyyyy harder to lose weight than before but it IS possible with the right amount of exercise and a pretty strict diet.
Since Jan this year I've committed to exercise every day - nothing too strenuous, stuff I love - yoga, swimming & walking. It's really helped with my achey body and my moods. Then I gave up sugar - honestly not easy I was a total chocoholic but it's been 9 months I'm still committed. I followed the no sugar thing very strictly in Feb/March then eased off a bit - maybe one or two treats on the weekend - which I find gives me the fix I need ;) I've managed to lose that 5 kilos but really considering my exercise and diet it should be a lot more - but I feel so much better.
Looking forward to following your blog, good luck!
