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! ;)

Here we go...
This is it. I have gorged myself on my favourite meal. The 'last supper'. After today, its time to get healthy!
A bit about me - I am a stay at home mum to 4 kids. After each pregnancy, I just didn't lose the 'baby weight'. So here we are. Baby weight x 4 = The heaviest weight of my life.
I have a lot of weight to lose, so this is going to be an uphill battle for the most part.
I decided to start a blog to keep me honest, and also so when I become the illustrious 'Yummy Mummy' I can look back and be proud of what I have accomplished! If I come across any good, healthy recipes, I will be posting them too.
So here is the short term goal.. So we will say in the next 4 weeks I want to
Wish me luck!!
