Hopping on the Laparoscopic Band-wagon.

Yup. I'm doing it.

It's taken a while for me to see the light, but jumping on the scales last week @ 103.4kg showed me not only do I need to lose weight, but I need to CONTROL my weight. I got down to 89kg, and as soon as I think about it, I start to tear up and just want to binge. I know, I need to get my head healthy too, and I'm off to see a Dietician about it, but I need long term weight control assistance. I need to CONTROL my weight, not just to get to 70kg, but this will be something I need to work at long term. I'm not going on some stupid diet to shed the weight and feel guilty about eating a hamburger. I shouldn't EVER feel guilty about eating food, but I do, ALL THE TIME, and punish myself when I do have some of the "naughty food".

So, I'm off to another information seminar on Thursday night. I'm feeling like a bit of a failure, as this is something I should be able to do, not have to have surgey to help me with.

Will report back in after the seminar.

Amber you have to do what you think is the best decision for you.

Have you thought of trying the person flicker saw from EB? I have a friend seeing her and apparently she is great and a real benefit. I'll see if i can get you some details.

Hey Susan,

I'm not sure, that's the problem. I know I can't do it alone though. I need more than willpower.

I think I have an email from Flicker somewhere. I might contact her.

Thanks mate xxx
