A New *Skinny* Me!

I’m fat!

There is no nice way of putting it, the scales don’t lie and neither do the tight clothes.
I’ve been fat for as long as I can remember but today I hit an all time low…actually an all time high…the most I’ve ever weighed. Today I stepped on the scales and it flicked to 122.5kgs.
:-O

How did that happen? Last time I weighed myself I was 114kgs how the hell do I gain 8.5kgs in no time at all? Not that 114kgs is acceptable, not by a long shot but OMG 122.5kgs???

So how do I get skinny? I’ve tried every diet under the sun but I just don’t have the will power to stick at anything. After following an online friends journey through her weight loss thanks to the gastric sleeve Op I had been tossing up in my head if this was something I should explore?

Both my sibblings have had lapband, one has been quite sucessful and has lost quite a bit but her loss has now pretty much stopped and she still has a fair way to go. And the other has had quite poor results due to not being able to get in for fills. So to me lapband was defiantly out of the picture.

So after much thought I messaged my online friend via facebook and asked her a few questions. She answered everything for me and told me the name of her doctor.

On Monday I made the call and I’m now booked in for the 13th of September for my initial appointment. I’m so excited!

I know it will be a long road to be skinny but its a road I definatly want to travel, I don’t want to be overweight for the rest of my life I want to be healthy and attractive and I want to live a long life!

Start of Something New…

Well here I am blogging, thought about it heaps before, wondered if I had anything interesting to say or if it was all a little too self indulgent? But I’m planning some major changes in my life and I’d like to keep a record of it so I thought hey why not?

So lets start at the start, I’m a 27 year old married mum of two, I live in Queensland and I work full time as a property manager.  I’ve been with my husband for 13 years and my children a boy and a girl are aged 6 and 2.  I have bipolar, not something I’ve told many people due to the stigma attached with it. Life was hard last year when it all came to ahead but the last 10 months have been better since I’ve got the treatment I needed. I’ll cover more of this later.

Friends, something I’ve begun to wonder about a bit lately, I’ve taken a step back and  started to re-address the friendships in my life and wondered if they are more one sided then anything. Again something I’ll talk about more in depth later.

Family, ugh! Sometimes I love them and other times I loathe them but hopefully we are all on a path to learning to love and appreciate each other…guess what? I’ll talk about that more later.


So read my stories, comment if you like and follow me as I try and work out how to do this blogging thing…

I did have this blog on another website but I'm finding this one better so I'm just transferring my posts over so there will be a few updates on today's date.
