Hi, I'm a 40yr food addict who has over sized assets for more years than I care to remember. Having lost 9 stone just before my 30th birthday (phentermine, no longer legal in France!!), I have since had 3 more children, and have slowly eaten my way into 5 larger dress sizes. You think I would have learnt my lesson the first time?
The 1st of January I decided to take back control of my life and I quit smoking on 15th January. Since then I have subsidized my nicotine habit with a chocolate one, so yet another stone has safely stored itself on the large thighs and already adequate bum.
I have been seeing a nutrionist and gastro-specialist for the last year, as I have been recently diagnosed with a digestion disorder, and so it was my Gastro doctor who told me that the balloon would help 3 out of 4 of my disorders and help with weight loss.
The plan, which has been on schedule, is to have the balloon fitted this Monday morning. I will then have 6 months to loose 6 stone. I am so determined that I went to the place I fear most today............the gym..............and paid for one years subscription! I really hate gyms, but my way of thinking is I have a job to do, and to acheive it I need the correct tools! At least I can tune out what people are saying about me whilst I'm there, as French isn't my first language.
I really don't want to be fat any more, especially living in a country whereby the average female is a size 8, and I just hope this proceedure makes me fall out of love with food. Quiting smoking after 25years was easy by all comparsion.
