This is my story
Ok, heres the story of me.
I am 34 years old and since my 21st birthday many moons ago I have fought the good fight against all things weight related. I find it damned hard and its still hard even though I recently had surgery to help me along the path to slimfullness...
I dont know why it happened the way it did with me. I know in 1992 I had the most terrible time when my dear friend killed himself and I lost 60 per cent of my hair through the shock of that. I know that I went on a mad one and drank too much and probably ate too much and cut my nose off to spite my face, and then all I know is, I woke up one morning in 1993 and here was this 20 stone woman staring out at me.
But now things are changing finally, and the things that I never thought that I could do, or would ever do, are becoming par for the course for me. The trouble with life is that we just plod along accepting our fate a lot of the time and its only when we stick out our neck and say that we aint going to do it no more, that things change.
I got a whole heap of crap over having the surgery but in general its been from people who I dont give a toss about. People who say that THEY did it all by just dieting and will power and what sort of glutton was i that I couldnt.. I tell them that I had my reasons and that they dont live in my head or my body and that i did what i felt I had to do..
And now i am 8 stone lighter, my BMI is almost half what it was. life isnt a bowl of cherries...but its getting there. One day my insides will match my outsides. I cannot wait.
UPDATE......UPDATE..... 8 January 2008
I finally got to within 12lbs of my target weight as now I am 13 stone 8lbs and my target was 12 stone 6 lbs. It goes to prove that the operation works and with all the tears and tantrums and hard work that its taken, its sooooo bluddy worth it lassies and lads...
My next project in "Improving Lucy" is a trip to budapest for a tummy tuck and also a boob job which will revive my basset ear boobs and make them nice and perky and lovely again...And then I am going to consider college, maybe doing beauty therapy and opening my own spa....Surgery is tentatively pencilled in for the middle of june...I will keep everyone posted!!!!
