The start of my blog.

One of my dearest and special friends has finally helped me make this decision. I have been hovering around the topic of lap banding for a couple of years, telling myself I can do this on my own, I don't need to be that radical etc etc. Now here I am weighing at aroung 130Kg (286lbs) and not doing so well healthwise. I have just been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and hypertension. My 2 children are missing out on a "fun" mum as I mainly sit and watch them play.

I am divorced (partly because of my lack of self worth) and take care of my children with help from my parents as I have to travel alot for work.

Most importantly my friend Ann is doing this journey with me (although she has far less to lose than me) this is going to make it so much easier.
