This is my story
Overwieght from the age of 16. Could never get to grips with dieting. Tried and gave up before I even started. Total lack of self belief that I have always been able to cover up with a big smile and expensive fat clothes. I'm53 now, married, 5 grandchildren which I would like to see for a lotmore years. I have two cousins who, as teenagers, we used to knock around together. The oldest one - 2 years older than me - died of a blocked arteries 18 months ago and the next one - 1 year older than me - has been diagnosed with the same thing. I'm the fattest out of all three. It has quite scared me I can tell you. As Anne says I don't want to be a fat old lady at 60. Tomorrow - Jan 25th 2007, I am having a gastric band fitted. Yes I am a bit wary but I feel that this is the only way forward for me. I have tried everything else (in my head) but failed miserably. I'm just hoping that I'm not the only person in GB who manages to cheat with a lap band and not lose weight. Wish me luck. I'll let you know.
