This time last year

I weighed 20st 6lb, struggled to do anything physical, wore same "uniform" of black trousers, big baggy shirts and jumpers, stuffed my face with rubbish foods and generally hated myself.


Today - 1 year after my gastric bypass - weigh 9st. 11lb, take an average size 12/14, look pretty damn good, am addicted to life (and shopping). I have my first "slim" holiday in 2 weeks - bikini ready.

For me it has been a very easy journey so far, so my fear is that it will all go wrong. I have never dumped, can eat pretty much anything, never had any issues - so I realise I've been incredibly lucky compared to some others, but I also realise this is where the hard work begins.

I'd like to thank everybody on here for their support and wealth of knowledge - some of you truly are inspirational. Good luck to all of us on whatever life brings our way - here's to a bright future:thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:
