Nah. LSL turned into carer's leave, and I've only just started walking again. I'm down another kg, which us better than going up 😁 I've just started medication, because it's got to the point where I can acknowledge that I just can't manage it on my own. And I don't want the surgery. But, hopefully, I'll keep going and getting healthier and healthier 🥰

G'day Suzie-Q
Bugger, probably not the sort of LSL you needed, but one which I feel you would have willingly taken on, because I reckon You Are a Very Caring and Giving person, and You like a Challenge.
You wouldn't have taken on the tasks at the Canowindra International Balloon Challenge or the 9km walk charity otherwise.
And last but not least, You accepted the challenge along with
@Lauren and a few ugly blokes
😉 to keep WTF at a High standard. But not only that, You and the current Team have Exceeded that High standard and created a forum that is Imo By Far the Best since I joined in 2019.
So, a Great Big Thank You
👍👍👍 to You and the Team.
Now Suzie-Q, I reckon it's time for You to give to Yourself.
You have to accept Your latest Challenge which I know... 'You Can Do'.
And I know, You Can do it without resorting to surgery, as surgery very often is not a long-time fix.
It aint easy, but you already know that don't you Suzie-Q.
When I was about 35 yoa I was overweight and wearing large size clothes.
I decided I had to lose weight, so I started walking then jogging, did the 5BX exercise program, played squash and a bit of tennis. I've forgotten how long it took but I was eventually able to fit into small men's size clothes for a while at least, but I felt amazing.
Over the past 30+ years I have had a lot of stress in my life and found the only way I could handle it was thru JUNK food and that has resulted in me now having to wear XXL size clothes and really need to lose about 15 kgs.
I had a minor melt down just recently which could have turned into a major meltdown.
After seeing a psychiatrist at my local hosp. I was given a script for a medication called "Olanzapine" [2.5 mg]. It won't solve the problem that is causing my stress, but it definitely helps a lot to be able to handle the stress. The only downside to Olanzapine is I get a bit of brain fog sometimes, but I feel the benefit is worth it.
Now, the reason I am saying this is the fact I am not as stressed now is .......I don't have anywhere near the desire to eat cakes etc. as I used to have
😊......., or if I do feel I want some junk food, I can easily overcome that desire.
Dieting must be a change in your eating pattern that you can comfortably sustain for the rest of your life, as they say crash diets generally don't last once you reach your goal weight.
But, "that's life as all the people say, you're flyin high in April shot down in May, but I KNOW I'm gonna change that tune when I'm back on top back on top in June that's life, I've been up and down and nearly out but I know one thing, each time I find myself flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race as that's life. [words from Frank Sinatra's song That's Life]
Go get em' Suzie-Q

You got this 💯
👍💯 and You will be healthier and healthier.
