fallen down
on August 24, 2010 7:38 pm

It has been 2.5 years and i am writting this blog to try and get myself back on track
In the last 8 mths i have gained 5.4 kg!!God it sounds so bad when i say that and i feel awful.I feel fat, grotesque ugly and extremely disappointed in my self.
Two things occured at the start of the year which changed my eating and have made me fail.firstly i went on hormone therapy.I was advised that i could gain up to 4kg!! ACHIEVED and then some.Secondly i totally went off the eating guidelines!!BIG MISTAKE.Gone was healthy snacks and protein, instead i became obsessed with carbs and lollies.As for exwercise, non existant.
I have spent 2 mths now feeling bad and self loathing.but a friend and my husband both pointed out id gained pounds, HORRIBLE
So as of today im im a strict diet of how i should be eating. i have gone back to protein meal replacements to help out.
Hopefully i will loos ethe weight quickly and regain my self esteem.
I definately loved the the new skinny me and i want that back

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
on May 22, 2009 6:56 am



well its been a year and what a year it has been.I have gone from 106.9kg to 66.7 kg.!!!! a wopping 40.2 kg.
I look back at the last year and except for the odd bad month, especially 11 mths out, it overall has been wonderful.
I still pinch my self often to make sure it is all real, am i that much slimmer! I cannot rave enough about wls and i will be forever grateful to my wonderful surgeon and support of my fellow sleevers and friends. Being "Normal" for the first time in over 20 years is a gift.Not only do i physically look better, my health and lifestyle is fantastic.
I am more confident and shopping has become a new passion.It really is so nice to be able to buy clothes, not because they fit , but because they look good.
I really wish all obese people could have this opportunity to experience what ia m experiencing.Unfortunately it dosnt matter how lovely and beautiful on the inside you are, people dont see past the layers of fat.I know that is a poor sad thing to say, but it is true. I have experienced both sides now and people definately treat you better when you are skinnier.What a sad society  we sometimes live in!!
Any way i am a new me and life will be wonderful. I know i will always have to be careful with my diet and will need to remember to live by the sleeve guidelines, a very small price to pay for the benefits .My goals now for the next year are to try and loose a few more kg.I Would really love to be between 60-65 kg this time next year.I am also going to try to get more regular with exercise  and tone p more as it is a constant struggle for me.
 May you all be as successful as me in your own journeys and for people considering doing VSG do it.You will never look back

Nothing great this month ( Written retrospectively aas it is now may).So close to my goal of making 40kg loss in 12mths but yet so far.am 1.2kg away and frustrated at not moving it.Unfortunately for 3 mths have been having hormone treatment which is making me cranky , bloated and unhappy. In turn have been eating extremely poor.Lots of old habits snuck back in.Snacking on carbs carbs and more carb,in turn not happy!Not drinking enough water and definately not eating well.

well its slowly approaching the 12 month mark , infact only 7.1 weeks away.My weight has not reallly changed in the last 3 months but nor have i tried real hard! I am currently 68kg which is 38.9kg loss.I very up and down from this by about 1kg.my personal goal was to be 65 kg by my anniversary but as i havnt really been sticking to things i probably want make it Am i dissappointed, a little, but at the same time i have nearlly lost 40kg so i cant complain.Life is wonderful.I still get a buzz from nice compliments and absolutely love shopping for clothes.As for swimming it has been the first summer in 20years were i have casually walked around in my bathers in front of people.Very nice to go swimming and not feel self conscious of self.

My Story






11 March 08
Well i'v done it.I had my cosultation with the surgeon yesterday and i am officially booked for surgery on 21st may 08! It seems a long way off, would have liked it earlier but due to family committments could not. Every night i think about it and every night the nerves kick in.I am almost to scared to be skinny!!
Iam in my 40s and have been overweight since i was in my teens. There have been times over the last 20 years where i have been in the mid 70kg range but mostly i hover between 85-105kg. The skinny periods a short and have required many diet agents to get there.But it dosnt matter how hard i work to loose the fat it always hunts me down and finds me.Usually bringing a few more kg friends with it!!
So after having my children i have now decided it is time to take a final stand and get healthy.I have not told many people what i am doing as i still feel a bit embarrassed that it has come to this.But i am a realist and i know strong measures are required if i am to see my chilfdren grow to adults.
My husband is very supportive and my best friend who has had this procedure is very inspirational and encouraging.She will be a big support in the coming months.
So this is it , the start of my new life.No longer will i be on the fringes observing life i will be skinny and participating in it!!!
