Hi all.
for some reason i cant see my older post so have had to start a new one.
I am booked in for my band on 6th June. Last week i was sooo excited and could hardly wait. Today i have woken up soo unsure about going through with it.
My BMI is 34.7. Most people say i dont look massively overweight but to be honest its all from the waist down and i cover it well with my clothes and height. Alot of people have been saying to me over the last few days ohhh you dont need a band your not that big and so on. My problems come from having terrible trouble with my knees and being able to be active with my kids due to the weight i am carrying. I have approx 3/4 stone i would love to lose. I am currently edging into size 18 clothes after getting myself down to a 14 last year through Lighter Life.
I am scared and feel people are looking at me and thinking...why does she need a band and shes just vain. It has nothing to do with that. I just want to be able to go shopping and look nice and feel nice in a fashionable pair of jeans, combats etc and feel like i can run instead of hobble like a woman twice my age.
I know im rambling but i really do feel so confused about the whole thing and terrified i will regret it and people will say told you so.
Sorry to go on but i really need someone who understands what its like to talk some sense into me good or bad.
Thanks
