Well back on a weight loss scheme again….must be the 482th time I have tried to lose weight! This one must work as at 125.5kg, I am almost twice my ideal weight. Also, with a BMI of 45.5, hypertension and type two diabetes, I don’t see my body lasting much longer without even more major issues than these….especially as heart and stroke problems run in my family.
So, I have set myself a target of losing 10kg in 10 weeks: tough but achievable. Why such a target? Well I would like to do the following:

What if I fail to achieve my first target? Well, given that I cannot go on at this weight much longer, I will consider having a gastric band fitted. I have looked into these and DO NOT want one! They sound terrible but do seem to work. Unlike some people, I don’t see them as an easy option; in fact quite the opposite given the operation and general restriction on your life thereafter.
Right….back to the salad!
