I have been overweight my entire life. From my mid teens, my clothes size started with a "2" and that's been my life. I've done every diet known to man and have had some success with them. I'm a great loser, just unfortunately I'm a great putter-on-er as well, with the net result being I hit my heaviest weight of 169.4kgs/372lbs.
For the most part, I felt ok about myself. I've always dressed really well, been fun socially and successful career-wise. But really, I missed out on a lot, was afraid to do many things because of my size and have been single for most of my 30s.
Accepting that this was a battle I wasn't going to win by myself was the hardest thing. I felt like I had failed and being a bit of a control freak in other areas, this was a big mental thing to let go of.
But I made the decision, spent this years bonus paying for the surgery and have started my journey to a bigger life in a smaller body!!
Bring it on I say!!
