Leaky Ears

Roller skating! Roller derby! Inner tube water polo! Bike riding somewhere beautiful. These are a few of the things I'll be looking forward to once I've dropped some weight :-)

Thanks for your thoughts everyone! I think it'd be great if she came along to an information session with me - to support me. I don't think I'll bring it up, I'll just do my thing and hopefully she will think about it naturally as she sees me making good choices. Thanks for the reminder to keep our food separate, that's sound advice. I might increase her insurance though, so she has coverage if she wants it.

Hello! I'm new here, please be nice! I'm excited to be having WLS and looking forward to having a more active, healthy lifestyle. I would love my partner to join me on this journey. I'm afraid if she doesn't, her health and self esteem will suffer, and that her habits will sabotage my efforts. My partner HATES anything medical, having suffered some medical-related trauma in the past. How can I encourage her to think about WLS, without telling her how to live her life?
