GP - General Practitioner or Getting Petrified??

I went and saw my GP earlier this week in the hopes of getting a bit of support from him. Be it weekly weigh ins, hints and tips or the like. Instead I got a massive reality check. When I mentioned the reason I came to see him was that I am obviously overweight, and in need of some help, he immediately replied "Gastric Banding is just for you".

What the GP said really scared me. I thought really?? Am I THAT obese?? Of course I know I am fat - I do own a mirror! But fat enough to warrent gastric banding?? Really???

I am not afraid hard work, and I want to do this my way - so I can take the credit for all the work, not some surgery!!

I have gots me a personal trainer now (woo!), and I feel like I am on the right track with my eating. I am yet to see a change on the scales, but hopefully that will come. Oh, and I also got a 'weightloss' crystal bracelet. I know what you are thinking, but hey, if it helps! ;)
