1st Aug was my 5 year bandiversary

And I missed it!

I may have a brand new band in but I still consider the 1st August 2008 to be the first day I became a bandster.

And despite the ups and downs, it has been a game changer for me. It transformed my life in so many ways that I can't even begin to articulate. Not just in my weight, my health and my prognosis for my future health, but in my confidence, my view on life, my career and my value in myself.

Happy bandiversary to me! It's been an amazing 5 years and here's to many many more to come.
