I've decided to to this diary as a help to my self and others. Having been a serial dieter all my life yet still being able to manage everything I wanted to do kind of gave me a false belief that my problem was not so huge. Now how ever at 31st 11lb and with severe mobility issues and constant pain it's now or never.
I've just come back from two weeks in Turkey and thats when I realised how bad things had become. The flight was horrendous although it could have been worse as I had my 5 year old son sat next to me and I was able to 'spill' over into his seat but leg room was non existent and I was in agony. Getting into the villa its self was a nightmare as there were 26 steps to go up to get in to it and as pathetic as this sounds I felt like I needed an oxygen tank by the time I got to the top.
I was so limited to what I could do, walking was awful and often I left my hubby and the kids and his mum to go do things while I sat in various places waiting. It was during one of these times I realised if I continue the way I'm heading to be bed ridden and or a very early grave. My 19 year old daughter came with us to Turkey and she has major weight issues too so it was decided something serious had to be done and we ordered our packs while we were still in Turkey.
I meant to do this from the beginning so I'm going to do a rough diary for the first 5 days to get up to date and make daily entries from now on.
