This is my story
I am 43 and weigh 27 st. I am a Medical rep and I am usually fairly confident and generally an upbeat girlie! I live with my partner who is approx 5 st over weight. No kids but 2 cats! Both normal weight! lol! My mother and sister are shorter and smaller build than me and I follow my father for general build - altho' Dad's never been too over weight. A neice and a nephew whom I adore but they are in their early 20s and both normal weight. I have dieted for as long as I can remember. When getting home from school I was given 2 Ryvita with cottage cheese on and have always listened to stories from my mother about dieting and weight loss like she understands the problem. This from a woman who weighed the same on her 50th anniversary as she did on her wedding day!!!! But all said and done it's a close family I have and for that I'm thankful. One major relationship with a man who always had a problem with my weight and who I was with (stupidly) for about 10 yrs. He cancelled a May wedding in the January when I was 24 because I wasn't going to be the size he wanted his bride to be! And I still stayed! Eventually he upped and married a good friend of mine who is 6ft tall and 9 st! Yikes! My current partner is lovely and we are happy together. I have tried and failed miserably at every diet going - currently making a hash of Cambridge Diet - waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much denial! I have attended slimming clubs, been hypnotised, been to seminars yah-di-yah and have been this weight - or up to 3 stone lighter yo-yoing - for about 2 yrs now.18 mths ago I got put on an NHS list for a lap band and have been called back to the hospital at the end of this month - maybe the funding has come through? One of my issues with my weight is the enormous size of the problem and even though I try to break it into much smaller amounts I still have no faith in myself that I can ever be a 'normal' weight. Failing consistantly at diets is soul destroying and affects my life on so many different levels.
