The journey so far. I've actually lost 98kg/216lbs/15st4lbs in total from when I was at my heaviest in 2021. I don't want any 'well dones', that doesn't sit right with me. You wouldn't say well done to someone recovering from any other type of chronic disease. You might wish them well, but not well done. I didn't beat this through disciplined dieting and excessive exercise. In truth, that is what got me onto the escalator towards obesity. There is more to it, of course, but I've lost a huge amount of weight that way in the past, and it always found me again. My body was fighting against me, and it was a fight I'd always lose. Following a long conversation with my eldest niece in 2021, I made the biggest decision in my life to seek medical help. The day I checked in at GBObesitas in Malmö, Sweden, that bright November day in 2022, my life changed forever. The journey is still ongoing, but I can't quite put into words how grateful I am for the team at - thank you 💐💐💐
