I was happy until I read your post Wanna, now you have got me worried..oh well hubby could sue if anything goes wrong and I could leave the bandit to medical science!
Getting my flight sorted for tonight
Back home to sunny Dorset to see my wee lad and wipe the dust off my bike blow ridding cobwebs out of my ears and have a propper pint.
May not be a perfect life but its the best one Ive got
Sorry Yammy... I do understand... I've fought a constant battle against my weight for 26 years.... losing miserably whilst in my teens - when I was 17, I looked like a weeble!
It's depressing and debilitating... Over the years, I've spent many a night sitting in my house crying my eyes out and berating myself for being a fat b*stard because I made the mistake of looking in a mirror before going off for a night out.
Even now, when my body's really not that awful, considering parts of my history, the hospital has declared me to be "obese" & told me I have to lose a stone before an operation I'm having next month. (I'm nearly there). People don't understand my hang-ups about my weight, as I look pretty average these days... but I've been there and I don't ever want to go back.
Even when your procedure is carried out properly, it still means major ongoing changes to your lifestyle. It's not an easy option. It's no magic wand that will make everything easy for you.
Try and get your husband to go along with you to the consultations preceding the operation - it helps to have someone else along because they bombard you with information and one person can't take it all in... it also helps when that person is someone who loves you and cares for you for who you ARE, not for the fact that maybe one day you might be slimmer.
Grab every snippet of information you can... read everything... over and over... and talk it all through with hubby.
There is also a wealth of information at your fingertips via the WWW (which you need to filter - t'interweb has lots of trash hiding the gems of wisdom!)... lots of support groups too - so you can sign up and chat with people who've already had it or are considering it... you'll also need support after the op, so ask at the hospital for a referral. Online support is great but RL even better.
Here endeth the latest Wannabe lecture.
*clambers back down from soap box to take lessons in how not to be an opinionated beeatch*
hey wannabe when i met yu i thought yu was gorgeous!! never entered me head about size or whatever![maybe kick thefag's!]showin my mate the photo's he said who's that! she's nice !! but maybe compliments from ole gits dont count,must include Scary inthis as he said where yu gettinthese looker's from!!
But if you're told by medical professionals that you'd better lose a stone before you have an operation, it's best to take that on board methinks. (Although I admit I was mighty miffed at the "obese" label! lol)
& like I say, I know I'm not bad at the mo - pretty average really... but I've been weeble-shaped in the past and have no intention of revisiting that! ;o)
Bet you didn't show them the one of me in my little pink dress did you tangoman.
Wannabe your right to say you don't look bad, blimey I wished I could look that good in a short skirt.
I was smiling the other day as had a nice text of banditgirl Kerry and a lovely picture of willow and hearing that they are all doing really well and very happy, she asked me to let you all know she is expecting again and the baby is due around Willow's first birthday.
