This was very hard for me but I've decided the gastric balloon is not for me at this time. On Wednesday I went to see the dietician and she was candid and very helpful. Indeed the average weight loss (for my size) is 2 stones. Some can do a bit more some can do less. I just feel that having this procedure, having a balloon in my belly for a year and the cost just wasn't worth it. If I only lost 2 stones and then had 3 more to lose after the balloon is removed, I know I would really struggle to get my head around it. After all I can lose 2 stones myself in a year - I really believe I can. What I can't do is lose 5 stones but the balloon won't do that for me either! So now I need to prove to myself (and you guys) that I actually can. I'm feeling a bit deflated (pun intended).
Talking of balloons - that's me, in the picture. Or at least what I see when I look in the mirror. A big round face with pokey eyes lol. Has anyone got a pin?
My job is ending at the end of December. It was a fixed contract so it's just how things go. I'm hoping to have something in the pipeline so I'll keep you posted!
So I'll be going back to basics. Posting my stats. And a photo (maybe monthly). Back to the 5-2 plan but I will be enjoying Christmas too. Life is for living! You can feel bad about your past but why? it's done and dusted, it's gone. No point worrying about your future, it's not happened yet. Please just live for today as it's the only thing that's real.
Dear Santa. I've been good this year. Most of the time. Well some of the time. Oh don't bother, I'll buy my own presents.
Ooh nearly forgot to tell you... My holiday half a stone that I lost last week being ill has stayed off! Yay. I'm back to my svelte 15 stone!! Ha ha. Hey, if any one has a spare tummy bug to give me that's obviously the way to go. A dozen sickness bugs and I'll be sorted. Boom!
