Yay! 5% weight loss target achieved!

Today I weighed in at 173.8 kgs, which is roughly the same weight I was when I had my weight loss surgery 2 years and 8 months ago. I am slowly but surely regaining lost ground. My double chin has lifted off my collarbone and my belly is slimming. I can now fit in my car without squashing my belly against the steering wheel. The changes are so subtle that even I fail to notice them at times!

Today has also been the day that I have achieved my 5% weight loss target. I wanted to lose 18 kgs to be able to have my knee surgery, so that is my 10% goal.

Sadly, I got a letter from bariatrics today discharging me from their care. They don't want to keep me in their books if I do not want to have weight loss surgery. This has upset me because I wanted to keep it as an option.

I am under a lot of stress since last Friday because my car went in for MOT and failed. It is now going to cost me over £500 to put it right and I won't have it till Wednesday evening at the latest. I feel the garage is taking the mickey out of me, but I cannot prove anything.

Lots of things are happening and I have to sort it all out on my own. I am feeling downhearted and last week I ate a bit more than I should have had but, to be honest, food does not solve the problems. I just have to be strong and deal with one thing at a time.

Now I am going into ebay to tell that man who's bid 99 p for my beautiful box that he can't have it as I am pulling it out of the auction.

Be strong! Be true to yourself!
