No Sugar My Journey My Choice

In November 2014 I made a promise. "To look after myself to my best ability," this coincided with the news of having secondary breast cancer. At the time I had no idea and in a state of fear and uncertainty, I set about finding new choices in my life. One thing I did know for sure was what happened in the past was not the right path now. Contrary to my belief the type and amount of sugars I ate daily from an early age was not giving me energy, but zapping my energy. With no blame, at the time I reached out for new ways for my life choices that would work in harmony with medicine and include the alternative approach. In doing this I connected for the first time, to hear and receive sound guidance and direction. The intention of this book is to show how no stone was left unturned, to inform cancer-sufferers and survivors and those facing critical illnesses you can improve your quality of life when you think your chips are down. You are scared and feel alone, you are not. Join me in the coming pages to show how with the support of many individuals I achieved something I thought impossible, being in perfect health. Equally this book is for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their health. Follow my story to see how I achieve this, by listening to my body, taking the right steps and feeling the benefits, it is incredible. Interestingly as I explored deeper within my thoughts, I unlocked how dyslexia controlled my life choices for the wrong reasons. I discovered how I taught myself ways to survive within this cruel world as a youngster growing up, and remained in this attitude for far too long. It is my intention to share with you that you are not alone. You are as worthy as others. You are equal. You do have a voice and you can have a great purpose in life with a few key beliefs. I opened my heart, invited help and valued my own knowledge, it is with heartfelt gratitude. Why was I inspired to write this book knowing my challenges with the English language? My reasoning was the compelling belief that my message far outweighed my shortfalls. The book is a testament to how hard things can be made simple and achieved with the right people's involvement, support, dedication encouragement and love during these past few years of turmoil. I am sitting happy with the knowledge I have today. I am in the best place, balanced, calm and focused, nearly 12 months after my last operation. I remember the words of my Oncologist, 'you are unique. Yes you are free of cancer'. Those were incredibly comforting words to the ears. I know this was achieved by everyone who helped me, not one stone was left unturned. There are many individuals behind the scenes whose roles or involvement played a critical part in my wellbeing, to whom I am indebted. Throughout the coming pages you will see how distraction was the first brick wall I removed. I recognised the value of how seeing the positive and negatives sit in the same place and can be fun to work with. I was able to realise even super-woman gets tired and needs to rest to prevent fatigue. These discoveries equipped me to explain my story during treatment of cancer without getting tired, a nice place to be. Today I feel happiness in everything I do, life for me is rewarding and fulfilling. I find these new qualities give me time to do things with ease and confidence. I value my actions immensely. I gained some insight into my life style that showed me that with the right mindset I could shift my train of thought and value my self-worth by being there to listen, not needing to be opinionated or solve the Worlds problems single handed,
