I tell that whole nightmare for two reasons -
1) I should have explained I'd be scarce yesterday. Sorry. Truly. I can't keep my Sunshine Boy locked up like he's in prison, but I make darn sure I know where he is or his vicinity at all times, and if he goes out of an evening I pace the house like a caged tiger, fully dressed, mobile charging, keys to hand until he walks in safe. I don't answer calls and I don't watch telly. I read and wait. A bit psycho perhaps, but hey. He gets a life and I get peace of mind.
2) Life and our loved ones are so so precious. What if he was slower? What if in my twisted way i hadn't spent about 14 Years casually chatting about "what if" scenarios with my son? He knows if someone is trying to kidnap you - break car windows. people ignore children screaming as they think it's play, but every car owner will check their car if alarms are going off. I'll pay ANY compensation as long as he gets help. He knows with all this youth knife crime, you hide, and if you can't, you climb - climb a tree, climb any low roof you can reach, and start screaming for help, be big, be noisy and act crazy, and kick off anyone trying to follow you up on a garage roof to harm you.
We didn't grow up in these modern war zones. Heck, I moved away from London 4 Years ago to get away for his teen Years. But it's every where.
We moan and joke, but these diets are about reclaiming lives. Being better, stronger, reaching further - because we have one life to live. One go on this ride. We deserve to enjoy it. Have the breath to run, dance, laugh - the lower BP and Cholesterol that means we live to see what's next, what's over the next Hill. We can't control everything, life will try to kick our a$$e$, daily, but we will be able to meet each challenge on our feet. Chest out, tummy in, head high, energy flowing..... Because we're at our best physical peak. Not carrying two or three additional body weights of fat on our backs.
I'm so proud of all of you..... And that's what I mean when I say "BRAVO, for never giving up on yourselves". Me too. I'll never give up on me. I deserve a champion - and I'm it
