I have been overweight my whole life. It started when I was was six years old. My first ever realisation I had was when I was six. My mother had taken to me to a kids clothes store but I couldn't fit into the size 6-7 clothes. Little did I know that this would be the case as I grew up too.
The thing is, I feel bad for my mum. People must have looked at her and judged her for having a fat child. But my mum always cooked healthy food for my meals, She never took me to McDonald's, She gave me healthy packed lunches, She encouraged me to join a swimming club where I swam on a Tuesday and Friday night. She took me to the under 16 gym sessions for two years.
My mum never stood in the kitchen deep fat frying chips and serving up turkey twizlers. My two other sibling were living proof that we were looked after and healthy. Neither of them had an ounce of unwanted fat on them. So when I see parents today with overweight children, I don't judge the parents.
I not sure what I weighed then, but the last weight I remember being was 15 stone and 2 pounds. I was in year 10 at school. Before or after that I can't remember.
As of today, 20/06/2013, I am 22 years old and weight 21st 6.8lbs. I don't know how I got here, but I know that I don't want to be anymore. And I'm not going to be.
Today I phoned The Hospital Group and booked a consultation with a Bariatric Surgeon.
