Hello:)

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kerry, I am 37yrs old and have approx four stone to lose. I have been dieting since the age of 12 and should have a gold star for effort in the dieting stakes. However after so many years of doing ridiculous diets I have been left me with a metabolism in my boots and very poor self confidence Things came to head last week when I was discussing with my kids about how the tv show 'Wife Swap' works and saying that you tend to get the opposite of yourself. I aked the kids what type of mummy they thought they would get and my gorgeous daughter immediately came out with 'well I expect we would get a thin one'. Let me point out that my daughter is not a mean monster but a very loving child who devises lots of ways to help me 'get thin' from home fit clubs to policing my food!!
Anyhow, having admitting my failures to my GP last week and from getting the all clear health wise I think my doctor is going to prescribe me orlistat next week. Me being me is now grooming the web looking for any kind of support and information on it.

I am so scared of failing again and am hoping that the inspiration I get from talking and reading about your weight loss triumphs will help me along xx
