So last night going out on the town b4 my op.
Its always a great experience to get all dressed up with your girlfriends, and hit the town for a night of dancing. Until you realise that all your friends are a size 6 (American size 0) and you look like a whale in a dress in comparison.
I am looking forward to this not being the case some months down the track...
Fun times.
Hit you up later
So lets start with the introduction
I'm Angela, I am 19 years old, I live in Auckland, New Zealand and I am a second year Education student in Universtity. I decided in october of this year to have the lap band surgery and i am due to have the surgery this wednesday (25th November 09).
I'm starting to have worries about the surgery now... I have been big my whole life and the concept of being thin is such a far off concept to me that i am stuggling to even believe that is a real possibility.
