[QUOTE="Ojustaboo, post: 1891724, member: 460243"] He responded with --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi xxxx Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with me and share your story and congratulations on getting this far, well done. I appreciate all the varied points you make. All of which will be considered in the round. I can only say what worked for me as this tough journey is different for everyone. It has taken me one year for others it may take 5 years or more. I wanted to share my story with others to get people talking about the issue and raise awareness. I felt that setting realistic goals and giving myself rewards kept me motivated. I rewarded myself with small things for my old bicycle which had the mothballs blown off when I was ready to exercise. I have enjoyed every bit of getting fit again. I now want to use my personal experience to help develop policies that can really make a difference to people’s lives. I don’t have all the answers. That’s why I’ve set up an independent commission to look at all the hard evidence and experience from people like you. I’ve been so touched to receive so many messages of support. It is amazing to hear how much me coming out and talking about my experience has inspired people. I'm going to be working much more on this issue in the months to come . It would help me if I could keep in touch with my progress. Thank you again for getting in touch. Best Tom [/QUOTE]
