Hi I am new to this site, and have re-joined Slimming World for the 999th time!!!! I have also made an appointment to see the Doc next week to see if she would be willing to consider me for Weight Loss Surgery, because to be honest I seem to be pretty hopeless at staying with this slimming thing.
I have been overweight all my life but not nearly as big as I am now (over 20stone) and only 5' 2" tall. I really feel like I'm drowning. I have been through an horrendous 4 years with my youngest son (now 15) who has a learning disorder and through that time I have gained three stone.
I feel like I'm stuck I would much rather be able to lose this weight with Slimming World than have a gastric band, but I guess I have tried so many times I don't believe in myself any more.
I will go back to the meeting tonight and ask the leader not to call out my name because I feel stupid, and sit there and hope I will be inspired.
On a positive note - I never heard of this site before until a nice facebook friend told me about it. So maybe this will be my inspiration. Has anyone else faced years of failure and then managed to lose the weight?
