Public Self-Flagellation

Well folks, here it is. The first entry in my honest attempt at public self-flagellation.

I have just come back from seeing a surgeon about having my gallbladder removed and I was told that I presented too great a risk for them to operate on.

I now weigh 195 kg and if I don’t do something about my weight now I feel pretty sure that I am going to die. I am 37 years old with a wife and a three year old son and I have got to stop being so incredibly selfish.

So, I am going to put everything on the line on this blog and be brutally honest about what I am doing and what is happening to me.

The doc says that he wants me to lose 70 kilos but that there is a risk of pancreatitis if the operation is not done. So, I am terrified basically.

I came home, did some shopping of some low fat things that I could eat and had some curry for lunch that I made last night. I had about one quarter of what I would normally have and now I feel sick.

I guess it all starts now.
