It is hard when you are dealing with an addiction. I come from a highly addictive family, food, drink, gambling – so I have always steered clear of ciggies, gambling and now drink. Food has always been there, I have often sat saying "at least I am not addicted to <insert demon of choice>" whilst stuffing my face with whatever was on hand.

You have come so far, you have lost an incredible amount of weight. It might stop here, but I don't think it will. You will continue on and loose some more, getting to goal is not easy for anyone, I don't care what anyone says. There is always posts from people talking of their troubles – because this ride isn't easy. I don't know Maree, you are not happy with what you have been told. I wouldn't be either. I would be devastated if Dr B told me that I wont loose now with this second band. Whilst I am pleased and pretty happy with how far I have come I am not prepared to accept. There were certain things I wanted with this band. I wanted to buy some nice clothes in Jacqui E, I want to wear knee high boots in winter and to put on a pair of 501's. I might still get to do those things, but what is most important to me is the health aspect – I was 120kg, I was only increasing I didn't have any major medical problems that were obesity related at that point in time but it was only a matter of time.

You have come so far, you have your humour intact and you know you have achieved what is expected of you. Next step? That is up to you! I know it will be amazing regardless!!!
