I'm starting this blog with a little help from my fella to share with everyone my experiences of having a gastric band (the good, the bad and the ugly), what its like from his point of view and our own little adventures.

I'm currently 23 and have been working as a nurse for nearly a year. Me and the fella have been together about a year and a half and have our first little place together on the seafront which seems to be shared with our extended family (my friends). Life is good!

As long as I can remember I have been over-weight, talking to my mum about this she disagrees, but looking back at my photos I seemed to be 'big' from when I was about one. At school I had a fairly easy time and was lucky to not really get bullied about my size (my surname is so awful they focused on that instead, small blessings!) I probably became aware of it when I was about 8 and the school nurse not so kindly pointed out I was about 2 stone over weight. At 10 or so I remember thinking how unfair it was all the kids ate crisps and I didn't, but why was I fat?! Then it was secondary school all kinds of things grew, but mainly my waist! And so it was, that has been my battle of the infamous 'yo-yo' diet approach to weight control.........
I think it would be fair to say I have tried most things including alarming eating disorders, bullemia, amphetamines (prescribed), Slimming World and the tried and tested healthy eating and exercise! The only one I haven't tried is weight watchers! Shocking, I know, but I think that it is the only one I haven't tried, and how different can they really all be?! Alas, to no real avail, the most I have ever lost is about 2 stone but over time the motivation becomes lacking and it gradually creeps back.
So there's a little bit about me, my life as a fatty and my fella! Off to bedfordshire for some beauty sleep but will be back soon!
Much love xxx
