      Hey everyone,

      So ive had a very crap week emotionally andhealth wise which will obviously impact on how we see things in the moment, that is why im so big on mindfulness and being in the moment.

      At the moment ive been full of complete hatred for my band. (Its ok btw no problems haha) but starting this journey i knew it was a tool to aid in weight loss i emphasise this all the time to myself and people who know i have it, however i am riddled with complete guttedness that 3 years tomorrow im not and havnt been near my goal weight.

      I know many girls who are banded and a few who are only a few months in and have lost 4 times what i have in a few months. I mean i know its not a race and i know were all different but i really really try.

      I exercise, i play about with food i dont go out drinking ( i never get babysitters not because im antisocial haha) im active with my job and as a mum. I am completely and utterly fed up with it all at this very moment in time.

      Lets face it gastric bands aint cheap and it took alot to go down the road of wls and i dont regret it but im not happy with it at this moment in time.

      Im all about motivating eachother and having a positive mind set but im only human and im so unhappy with how i look. I put weight on if i dont exercise for a week due to sickness i mean wtf?

      Yes ino were all different but i really really am fed up of still worrying about my weight 3 years down the line.

      So sorry for the rant.

      its mothers day i have come to my caravan in anglesey early this morning for some nice fresh air with my babies and hubby and going for a beach walk before we head home tonight hopefuly clear this mind set ready for a new week tomorrow.

      Ps, look at my mothers day present, im thinking he had himself in mind haha,the kids are absolutely made up. Im a bit annoyed haha but ill enjoy it in the summer.

      Sorry for moaning guys, in a rut this week.

      Love Laura  xxx

      Hi Laura

      Aw we hear you – the band isn’t an easy quick, fix solution thats for sure!!.Its natural to have times you are thoroughly fed up with it all. You are doing and have done everything you can and you will get to your target weight – you just need to keep at it ( and I know you will)

      I guess when the going gets tough its time to look back and see how far you have come so far! Your before and after pics you posted before were amazing!! Imagine without the band you wouldn’t have lost all that weight and look as stunning as you do now. The rest of the weight will follow even if its just a pound a week  – thats another 16 pounds off by the end of July!!

      keep at it and have a fabulous mothers day – lol very cool pressie ( even if it was for himself ha ha ) xxxx

      awwww mate xxx I ve been thro this myself too. Can I ask you to reflect on yr goal weight? Is it actually realistic given all you have to juggle, all you do already to stick to all the rules? Im not sayi ng give up, but maybe a rethink on things is in order? BMI is a good indicator – where is yrs ? Are you seeing yrself still as yr bigger self? Are you wishing yr body shape wd be different? Although I got a smaller version of myself, im still the same shape. I will never have a waist…. I ll never have a bottom/buttocks – I ll always be stuck with being top heavy …. but ive still got slim legs, even when I was heavy. How far from yr goal are you and what have you lost to date? Sit back, take the heat off yrself, reflect gently on it all. Come back, share n lets talk some more? xx

      Hey Laura – We hope your in a better place today, its not great to see anyone head go down, especially someone who works so hard at everything.  Me & Sue are with band patients all day long and everyone has there ups and downs for sure (this is just people in general, life is tough out their).  Its about trying to help your patient see what the band is all about and how would life be different without it.   The band is a fabulous weight loss tool, I am one of its biggest fans…!!!!  seen and been through so many amazing life changing journeys with my patients.  Not all have equated to big weight losses and sometimes its the health benefits that outshine the scales.  Everyone has their own personal goals in life and I understand that totally.

      Maybe you feel like your letting your band down, or maybe its let you down…??  The band working optimally will control your portions and help with hunger.  When your having a down day, just stop and be real about were you could be right now if you didn’t have your band.   Likely your portions and hunger will be more and life could be a different kettle of fish.

      The weight loss journey can drive you crazy, I agree, but nothing gets handed to you on a plate at the end of the day.  If you want to be the healthiest you it will require some level of effort to get there.

      We think you do an amazing job, try not to be so hard on yourself and defiantly get on here and share your good days and bad with everyone.  You don’t always have to be the inspirer….. Your right 😘 xx
