Hi everyone!
My name is Nicole, and I have thankfully 'stumbled' across this forum tonight. It looks as though it is just what the doctor ordered!
OK, I am 31, a stay at home mum to our beautiful daughter Alex who is 15 months old. I am married to David, who is 36.
My struggle with my weight began after several surgeries from 2000 (on my knee and 3 ovarian cysts removed). From there we suffered through 5 miscarriages. I was depressed.
Once Alex was born in May 2005, I realised I had Post Natal Depression, and my weight kept escalating. I have been off Anti-Depressants for almost 2 months now, and I feel great mentally. Physically, not so good!
The crunch came today (!) when I tried on some bridesmaid dresses for my sisters wedding in Decmeber. I was horrified. The salesperson looked at me as said, "Oh you're about a 16". I laughed. She ended up bringing me size 20s
My husband and I fled the shop, with me in tears.
After much deliberation we proceeded to the Chemist, where I purchased my very first box of Optifast. My dad has just finished his 4 weeks on this, with fantastic results. Its my turn now.
Here my journey begins......
