My first ever blog

Its July 5th 2009, and this is my story....
I've never blogged before, but wanted a way to remind my self of the huge journey I started back in Feb 2009, I joined weight watchers.....
I have been over weight for all my life and at school I was always the same weight at my age. In 2006 I had a gastric band fitted, I weighed almost 26stone and was 25 years old. I had the Operation privately, my parents paid the £8k. Within about a year I had lost almost 6 stone, I went to have my band tightened as I noticed that I was starting to increase portion sizes.. They tightened it that much that I couldn't even drink water, it scared me, so after it had been rectified I had the fluid taken out. I still have the band in, but it is not doing anything because it has no fluid.
So here I am Feb 2009 joining weight watchers with my sister and cousin in law weighing 23st 5lb.
I am so disappointed in myself, to have put back on over 3 stone, I've been kidding myself for 2 years that I wasn't putting weight on, well no hiding from it now the scales don't lie....
I am the biggest person in my weight watchers class, and I envy everyone in there.

Its now July 5th and I now weigh 21stone 11lb. I am starting to lose my willpower, had 3 weeks of staying the same, I know the reasons, I haven't been pointing and only been to the gym twice in 3 weeks!!
Tomorrow is the start of a new week and I am determined not to stay the same again this week, I weigh in on Tuesdays, so I have 2 days to be very good (I have had quite a bit of alcohol this weekend).
I am determined to loose this weight my first goal is to see 19stone 12lb on the scales, I haven't been that since I was 19 years old 9 years ago...

I have a very very supportive family and friend network, not that I always appreciate it :-). I am married (9th Aug 08) we have no children, I want children one day ( soon ).

I will succeed even if it takes me a long time.......
