I love your photo - but hope I don't resemble it for too much longer either! I was interested in what you said about only telling one person. I really tossed this one over too (am being banded end of Oct). But in the end I decided that I am lousy at keeping secrets anyway - and I know I will need the support of people around me. If some people I tell judge me badly for what I am doing, they are most likely the same people that judge me for my wieght in the first place! As for my friends who are also overweight - I try to let them know that this is just the best path I can find for me, it is certainly no comment on anyone else! I would really encourage you to tell a few people - you would be surprised how many people support you who you never thought would! But if you really can't, I just wanted to let you know I am here to offer whatever support I can.
Started on my weight loss journey on 20th August, 2008, have been overweight for as long as I can remember and now my health is suffering, on Saturday 29th November, I will be having a Laproscopic Gastric Banding down, this will help me attain a long lost goal I have been striving for all my life. My GOAL WEIGHT and thus a healthy me.

This is a wonderful photo, a cartoon photo of myself. But not for long.
