One more try

[LBD]

Today I start a new diet (probably number 30 in my life!).

I am still researching and contemplating having WLS but in the meantime feel that I owe it to myself to have one more shot at trying to gain control.

Thank you to everyone who has answered my many questions and for all the inspiring threads, blogs and photos that you have posted.

Fingers crossed for me!

good luck with it lisa ! which diet have you chosen to do ?

I am doing low carb which is a diet I had some success with a year or so ago. I found it relatively easy to cope with until I went on holiday!!

Hi LBD, good for you for giving it another go. How about looking into some counselling for any food issues too? THat may help you maintain the loss in the long run.

Do keep popping into see us though and join in!

All the very best.

Good luck chick and remember we are here to support you at any time....have you asked your GP if they can refer you to weight management clinics? I did a course over six weeks, one afternoon a week, and it was with a dietician and guest speakers...they basically discussed issues with food and advised that no food should be forbidden but eaten in moderation etc and that there are no"bad" foods...I totally understood where they were coming from and made me more aware of what I was eating. It was lovely to meet other people that were in the same boat as me.....just a thought for you....xx

linda thats a brilliant idea to try the weight management course, it could be very beneficial to lisa and help to make better food choices and maintain her weight.

Thanks Liz it also helps to qualify for WLS as you need to show you have tried every avenue....xx

That's a great idea. I am planning to see my GP later this week so will let you know how I get on.

Thank you x

Good luck lisa, trying to los weight one more time before making a decision on WLS is a good move, and it might even cement the desicion for you on whether you need the surgery or not
