Hi everyone.

I just have to say that I honestly believe I have the best job in the world.

At the last support group, some of you walked into the room and I almost didn’t recognise you!! a) because you have lost so much weight and b) you looked so HAPPY and healthy. I think the happiness and improved health aspect is the most pleasing part from my point of view.

I met some of you via seminars. I recognised every single feeling I had in a few of you – fear, shame, hopelessness, ill health etc. How wonderful it is to see all that disappear to be replaced by hope, pride, health and happiness. I want you to know that I am so very, very proud of you all. I KNOW how hard it can be, so I am fully aware of how much effort and willpower goes into losing weight after wls: despite what the media might try to say! Even when you have had a few ‘hiccups’ and things have seemed to be going a bit ‘wrong’, you have all kept trying.

I’m proud to be part of your journey, even if it is by the merest atom lol! I never, ever dread working as I get to hear all about the successes you have had and how much positivity you emanate. I also love how you are all so willing to help others, simply for the joy of being able to put someone’s mind at rest. I also love how you are genuinely delighted other people’s success.

So, THANK YOU – each and every one of you for making me happier than I have ever been in my working life (child-minding and teaching come a close second) and for also accepting me as a friend. You are all fabulous.

Oh Lesley thank you so much. All I do is try to help people to realise their full potential in life by sharing my experiences (too much info sometimes haha) and offering them a helping hand. I get so much more in return.

I love the Yoda image too LOL!! Maybe I should get a sort of toga arrangement to wear haha 😀

Toga, Toga, Toga!!! No news at all regarding a tea party. Our surgeons are just too busy saving and improving people’s lives these days
