Yay!! Today I booked in for my LBS !! Tuesday June the 25th is my day!! And I'm incredibly excited about what is to come and nervous at the same time!!
For so many months I have gone back and forth with the decision as I felt as tho I should be able to do it naturally but came to the realisation that I needed help .. I also struggled with others opinions .. My partner is a personal trainer so although he supports me and wants me happy I think he'd rather I lose the weight band less.. I said "me too" lol but obviously that isn't working!!
Tipping the scales at 110kgs - my heaviest weight ever .. I decided jut this once I was going to do what I wanted to do, despite anyone else's options and that included his .. At the end of the day only I know me.. Only I know if this is right for me .. Only I know what it's like to live in my body etc ..
A lot of people I know think lap band is a shortcut , an easy way out :-/ .. I'm hoping to change their outlook on the band and to show them its just as much hard work as a diet, a new exercise regime etc .. And the way I see it .. Those who truly care and love me are just going to be happy to see me happy
and anyone who ain't well .. "Ain't nobody got time for dat" 
This is my first post of many!! I'm excited to meet you all and learn more about your journey
