2 years ago I was a project manager working in a highly technical field, travelling the length of the UK every week and working ridiculous hours. Friends and family said I looked ill but I shrugged them off because I felt ok – tired, but ok. Then at a standard healthcheck I was diagnosed coeliac and very anemic so I began the long road of learning what my dietary limits were – particularly as I was already vegetarian and this meant my diet suddenly became ridiculously narrow.
Instead of bemoaning my new dietary limits, I decided to take all this as a new opportunity. I applied for and received a redundancy package from work and began taking time out to look after myself.
I began experimenting with cooking – whereas previously the standing joke was that I thought my cooker was just a pretty ornament in the kitchen 🙂
Now, although my diet is restricted both by personal choice and by necessity, I do feel limitless. I’ve learnt that there are very few recipes I can’t adapt to a veggie / coeliac lifestyle.
My family love dropping in unexpectedly to visit – although strangely they do seem to turn up around meals times and when they know I’ve been baking!
So I’d say to anyone who has limits imposed on them – whether it’s time limits due to a job, limits due to health issues, or self imposed limits – decide what is important, make time for yourself, and just enjoy being alive. Limited or not – it’s a great life and we should enjoy it!
Hi Susan,
thanks so much for sharing your story here. This is a very inspiring read. Thank you!
