Chunky Monkey saying hello!

[Muffintop83]

Hello all....Im writing this intro because i have decided to take the steps to lose weight and have applied for NHS WLS....Ive lied quite a lot about my weight as im 5"10 it doesn't look like im am my true weight(that i will reveal in a bit)

I was a average sized youngster and had something truly awful happen to me as an 12 year old that sent me into comfort eating spiral that ive always done even though im now 27 and even though ive come to terms with what happened to me as a youngster(i wont bore you all with the details) find myself in the position of being the weight i am..I over eat...eat when im not hungry...Eat out of boredom and i know i eat all the wrong things...obviously!!Im in some truly dreadful eating habits and See having a gastric bypass as a tool to aid me in my weight loss i know its no quick fix.

For a big girl Im still active..i can still walk and run even though it does get painful to run for anything over about 3 minutes and im wheezing like a dying fly so i really think my problem is the eating side of it,

I hope i get to know you all better and can rely on your support and most of all encouragement from you lovely people

Since having My son ive lost a stone and a half but i think that's down to running around seeing to a newborn

Right so time for the big reveal

Im Leanne...Im 27 and i weigh....25 STONE 8lbs..I have a BMI of 52.6

Im currently on the system with Walsall Manor ...so im just waiting for appointments to roll in now!
:thankyou:

Hey Leanne

Welcome to the website! I share the height-hiding-true-weight thing. When I first weighed myself at the doctors for referral, the doctor asked me to weigh twice as he thought the scales were malfunctioning

You've come to the right place for inspiration, information or just to hang out. Everyone's really nice here!

Looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
