This is my story
Was recommended this site by a colleague and have over the last few weeks been surfing it - wow fantastic, so many people with the same issues.
Well, where do i start?
Have always thought of myself as being chunky as a child but when i look at old photo's i was really not that bad! Although when i look photo's as a teenager i was solid.
Problems started perhaps when as a child sat at the dinner table was made to eat my veg, but usually just gagged and swallowed water until they had gone. When i left home, bought my first house with my then boyfriend and it needed a lot of work, easy option takeaways so over the years the weight slowly crept on but i was ok about that, thought no problem go to WW and so there my story really begins.
I got married to the boyfriend and had a lovely daughter, went back to WW again and lost alot of my baby weight but still not all of it, then after 5 years of marriage got divorced and lost all my weight plus more through stress - not adviseable!!
However not long after met my present partner and again have put the weight back on plus lots more, and find that i have no longer the will power to keep going to WW, Slimming World , Rosemary Conley, have also had hypnotherapy, done the Paul Mckenna thing, can't think of anything i have not tried , tested etc to keep the weight off. I am now a size 20/22/24 depending on what and where the items come from most of my friends are size 10/12/14 and whene ever we go shopping i'm limited to the shops i buy my clothes from often saying to them " just going to big girls shop / section " get really fed up, and as each month goes on i'm getting more and more depressed about it.
I am now on the verge of having WLS have been on reductil & xeniycle ( not sure how it spelt) but to no avial, so WLS it looks like, just need to pick the phone up to book consultation. How frightened i am just doing that, but having read all the stories on there successes am getting nearer each day to that phonecall.
Would love to hear from anyone who has had WLS good or bad.
