Hi Tracie,

I didn't have to do this, so not sure what exactly needs to be included. I would include your full history of your weight, what you have tried (for how long and what results), and how your weight affects you (physically and emotionally).

I agree with shel, just tell them how you feel everything.....I did not have to go through this either so sorry not much use.....xx

As well as the suggestions above it might be helpful to record if as your weight increased your other health problems developed (if that is the case) e.g. in my own case at 16 stone I became mildly hypertensive worsened at 18stone then at 20 stone developed severe arthritis. Its also helpful to add in your social situation e.g caring for children or other caring responsibilites.
