Really happy!

Hey,

I just wanted to let you know that I am nearly at a BMI of 18 now, from 16 something a while back! I've suddenly put on quite a bit because I've been sticking with the night feeds and also eating loads. I've found that I had to force myself to eat for a while but at the moment I actually have a great appetite! It's so nice to be able to look forward to meals and get excited about food again, having had such little interest and motivation not long ago.

In terms of my health I can totally feel the benefit of being closer to a normal weight - I haven't got any bad chest infections from the cf for a couple of months now and I'm so much stronger as well :-) Everyone is telling me how well I look and how my skin and hair look good, and I feel like I've got more get up and go too.

I never thought that having a bit more weight on me could have so much of an impact and I'm so glad that I've got this far xx
