LOL I can't even remember how it felt! We got together at 19 and we are both 34 now. We love each other to bits but we are best friends. I don't think there's really been any romance tho! DH is not really the romantic type and I don't think I am either. I find it difficult to take stuff like that seriously and just end up giggling. We have loads of laughs together and that's much more important to me than romance!!! LOL

wow thats a long time yes every one keeps telling me that romance is not the big deal its all the other stuff like as you say having a laugh and being best friends, i was 15 when i met Tom and im 26 now but we are very different people i am in to romance and hes not hes very funny and makes me laugh but when it comes to doing things like --ROMANCE-- he hasn't got a clue and things like the other day my feet where sollen which has never happened me before there where like ballons i could hardly walk but had so much to do and instead of saying aww go you and sit down i will do it! he let me carry on i dont think he means it he just hasn't got a clue but any ways no point wining about it now after 11years

cd7 for me 2day i have a doctors app 2day now ''dont laugh'' but im going to ask about getting one of those gastric band things --if its good enough for fern britian and all that lol so if i she thinks i can have one i will be giving up ttc as i want to be a size 10

Wow u are brave. I would never voluntarily put myself in for surgery of any kind!! I didn't want to have a C-section with LO but I had to, and I am determined to have a vbac when I get pg with no2! Me and hospitals don't mix

awww i hope you get your vbac babe, i was mins away from having a C-section with courtney i was so scared. i am well used to hospitals as i have panreititis and have spent loads of time in and out of hospital in the last 8years, i used to be scared of needles now there not a problem im so used to them
well been to see my doctor she said if i come to her for the next 2months and have lost a few lb that she will see about getting me on the waiting list to see a surgon, really not sure what i flipping want any more,

Wow that sounds scary hun - ur braver than me. Find it really hard to keep my weight down when ttc, good luck losing a few pounds xx

I had to have a c-section too - after 30 hours of labour - 5 hours pushing! So I will def be going for the elective c-section next time round - they told me I had to anyway.

Hmm, must be frustrating!! So would you be able to TTC after the gastric band or would that be the end of?

yeah babe i think i will just try really hard to get the weight of the old way ''dieting'' lol the op is very drastic and i dont think i would ever be able to eat normal again my doc give me tablets 2day xenical they stop fat been absorbed when you eat lol didnt even ask if i could take them wile TTC because i didnt want her to know i was ttc

wow 30hours of labour poor you my first labour was 23hours then with kian i got to the delievery room at 4pm and my 9lb little big man was born at 4.14 pm lol it was very quick and mackenzie was the same one min the midwife was saying you are 6 cm and i was like i have to push she told me of and said you cant push your only 6cm she had just finished telling me of when pop mackenzies head came in to view poor midwife was like omg you where right ''of course i was wright i was the one laying there in labour lol

oh im so excited BB starts in 10mins lol

Hi hun, how are you today? I agree that the gastric band is fairly drastic. I mean, I can understand that it must be very frustrating, but I think you need to try and exhaust every other avenue first. I know what made a big difference to me was cutting out dairy (it made my stomach swell up like a balloon, plus the runs and spots, ew!), try and cut out bread as much as possible and eating wholegrain bread if you do, and only eating wholegrain pasta etc. The biggest difference for me is exercising, I need to go at least 3 times per week and really work up a sweat. I can imagine that's hard to fit in with 3 kids!!
My sister is overweight and I wish I knew how to help her because I know she's not happy. I know that advice coming from me probably pisses her off, because although I've been bigger than my average size, like last year, I've never been overweight. When I move back to the UK we'll be living close by eachother so I'm going to try and motivate her without it seeming like I'm sticking my oar in! My grandparents wanted to pay for her to go on a 6 week diet camp, but she's quite sensitive and I think she'd be really upset by the offer.

yeah bread makes me swell up every thing i eat just sticks to me i was never this over weight in all my life i'm so down about it and the more down i am the more i eat that will be great for your sister having you there to motivate her i need some one like you living near me lol,
i think i will just keep at my diet, i'm not sure about ttc any more i really need to get my life sorted before i bring another baby in to it, like i said the only time i see dh is when he needs fed he spends all his time on the xbox and i don't think our relationship could cope with another baby
my heads fryed at the min
off to have a shower i will be back lol

You need to find something that you want to do, it will make you feel more positive and I bet that when OH realises you're not focusing all your attention on him he'll want some of that attention back... I know it's so easy to get complacent when you've been in a relationship for a long time, you just both get used to doing things a certain way, especially when you've been together from such a young age (before DH I was with my ex between 16 and 21). I can try and motivate you online, know it's not quite the same!!
