This is my story
How did I get here?? Wow... how could I ever imagined, as an 8 stone 20 year old that I'd ever write something like this.
Well, it happens to the best of us, and here I am.. FIVE stones overweight.
I was a slim teenager, and a slim young woman. I met the man whom I would marry, and thats where it all starts really (hey... does that make it his fault then?? Yey!!). I'm certain you've all heard this before.... it goes like this..
* Learning to drive (hence not walking) = gain of 1 stone
* Going out for meals (in love, you see) = gain of another stone
* Pregnancy and birth of 1st child (Rowan..orrrrr) = another one on.
* Discovered I have hypothyroidim (Just HOW life conspires against you??) = another stone on.
* Second pregnancy (Ruby...) = just half a stone on this time. Yey!
* Life in general.... I'm now another half stone heavier, but this is the half stone that I forever lose, then regain, then lose, then regain. etc etc.
Are you with me?? So now I'm 34. And of all the diets I've tried... nothing works for me. Well... they would work I'm sure... if I was able to keep going. But I just dont. So I've made a decision. If by the time I'm 35 I'm still on this merry-go-round.... I'm off for the lapband. This isn't only a size issue anymore.. its becoming a health issue. And it has to stop.
