This is my story
Hi I am 39,married, 1 youngster.
I wasn't born fat,average a 7lb er ,but as a child I was always Chubby,everyone dismist it saying It would go it was only puppy fat! Well 40 odd years later I can reveal it has never gone,it stayed & I have got heavier & heavier...
You name a diet & I bet I have tried it,some I was successful on (for a while),I have lost several stones over & over again,but never kept it off,regained it all & more.
Now today as I write,I am weighing nearly 20stone, & a 5'2 that's so not a good look!
I also suffer badly with polycstic ovaries.Have high B.P. High Cholestral & borderline diabetic.
For the past 2years I have been fighting the NHS in my area,Essex, to try to be funded for gasric surgery,but currently do not meet 1 point on criteria.
Sadly I can not afford to go private.
Currently trying to follow my own made healthy eating/exercise programme.Unsucessfully......
update:May 08. Finally after a wait,have tested positive for sleep apnoa & so now do meet all crieria for sugery,awaiting to hear if I can get nhs surgery now
