Soon to be banded Annie

[Ankaas]

Hi everyone well I've finally decided to stop punishing and humiliating myself by doing stupid diets that don't work and getting weighed by skinny minnies who make me feel inadequate and a failure because I had half a malteser over my daily allowance and that was obviously the reason why I had no weight loss (again) this week. Diets do not work and I'm proof of that. I have managed to put on about four stone in the same amount of years and I have almost continually been at some diet club or other during that time !! Tell me how that works? WELL now I've booked my "life" band surgery -so called because I'm gonna get my life back I just feel it in my bones. 12 July can't come quick enough. I'm going to Belgium and would love to hear from anyone who has been to Belgium or is going to Belgium.

I'm just so excited Becky I CANNOT WAIT. But I feel a bit in limbo at the mo and my daughter has asked me have I got a "get out of jail card" apparently she has noticed that I'm eating everything in sight! I didn't even notice. Gotta get a grip on that.

Hi Tasha I'm going for a band with Chris de bruyne in A Z Jan Portaels hospital. It seems like it will never come. I'm sooooo excited, nervous, apprehensive, frightened, emotional and hundreds of other emotions that I have never gone through before. But ain't nothing or nobody going to stop me. Good luck xx
