210lbs
Today I drove for 5 hours to the Midlands to get a fill. In October 2007, at 14 weeks pregnant, I was left with 2mls in my band after the nausea and sickness got the better of me and I had a defill. I put 30lbs on during the pregnancy and 7lbs since his arrival. I feel horrible. Although I wouldn't change my son for anything (even 100lbs on!!) but I was so close to getting to a sub 25 BMI.
The stress of caring for the baby only seemed to be appeased by cramming a bar of chocolate down my throat. It really did make me feel better. However, I realise the damage I am doing to myself and although it's only 8 weeks since I gave birth I've decided to have a fill.
Mr Diggory gave me 1ml. He's such a nice fella and I hardly felt the needle going in. He said that he would give me more if I really wanted it but advised to take it slowly for the time being. I agreed and will do all I can to work with the band. I think this is what I need to give myself that kick up the bum and change my mindset.
On the way home I drank a carton of ribena and have since had a black coffee and half a carton of soup. I need to drink more water but it takes so long to consume anything!
Can't wait to start losing again :-)
