Birthday: Hidden or not set up
This is my story
never been slim but dieted like mad and was a size 12-14 in my twenties - thought I was hideously fat - few boyfriends probably cos of my low self-esteem. In my thirties fluctuated between size 14 and 16 married late and loved 'playing house', cooking and eating out. My (now ex) husband didn't like the plumper me. One child later I put 2 stones on, now 16 stones and a size 18. we split up and I continued to comfort eat and cook. by 2007 I am now size 22 -24 with achey joints and a snoring habit that keeps me awake. I have been okayed for gastric banding, am toying with the idea of Lighter Life/ Cambridge vlcal diet....saw a few people, difficult to organise most of them are evening meetings...I'm moving up the waiting list for the band will it be right for me?
update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Banded on 20th August 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was very nervous. Hope to control my sweet tooth. Already thinking about my skin (ten years Younger anyone??) any recommendations gladly accepted.

update 10-1-2011
trying to blog but my PC is playing up!! Banded Aug 2008 lost 2.5 stones and almost put the .5 back on this winter. I eat quite a lot and apart from a brief period when my band was very tight, I have not managed to stop having chocs and cakes.. have really struggled to keep my weight level never mind get a decent weight loss. However, reading about other peoples' successes has motivated me so I'm hanging in there!
I am having a re-positioning next week at Derby Royal.... due to slipping and possible hiatus hernia and am very frightened of having surgery again - didnt like it much last time :-( and not very keen on all these infections... have tried to boost my immune system but sadly got a chest infection over New year... feel okay now though. Hope it goes well. I had put on 6 pounds since I had my band loosened in october and started to eat more and indulge my sweet tooth... .. funnily enough people keep asking me if I have recently lost weight- must be the gym - still going 3 x week to do 30 mins on Cross Trainer.
When I work out how to blog with this new browser I will post again!
