Back to Weight Watchers

In June 2005 I decided to try weight watchers again. I weighed in at 109.9kg and I wanted to lose weight before my 21st Birthday in October. I followed the program religiously and by my birthday I had lost 14kg. I was so proud of myself and I had so many comments at my birthday party. Shortly after I left weight watchers I just started to put all the weight back on again and got up to 110kg.

Extreme Dieting

When I left high school, the hospital was doing a trial for a new drug to help overweight people lose weight. We would not know if we were taking the genuine drug or a placebo. Once a week I had to go to the hospital to get 7 vials of blood taken and get weighed in to see if I was losing weight. By week 7 I was so sick of going to the hospital for them to take blood. I was losing very little weight. It all ended up being a waste of time because lucky me, I was on the placebo tablet.

Weight Watchers

I joined weight watchers in year 10 with my mum. I really enjoyed the classes and slowly started to lose some weight. Like all diets though, mine came to an end and I put on all the weight I had lost plus more.

New To High School

It was wonderful when I started high school. I was no longer the fattest person in my school, and there were people bigger than me. I felt like I would I fit.

One of my brothers friends had tried a new weight loss method which intrigued me, Hypnotism. I thought I would give it a try as I had nothing else to lose.

When I saw the hypnotist for the first time, I thought it would work. I sat in his chair and he talked to me calmly and put me under. He then talked about how I would not feel hungry all the time and food that was naughty would taste like snails. For a day I was convinced this was working, but no, I was wrong and down hill I went again.

Primary School Years

It is terrible going to a small school when your overweight. I was the biggest child in my year all through primary school. When I was eight years old, my mother took me to a dietitian to try and lose weight. Once a week I was aloud a treat and I would always go for a packet of chips. The dietitian did me no good. I would get healthy recess and lunches packed from home, but I would just ask my friends for some of there lollies or chocolate and I would just throw my fruit away.

A life of being overweight.

I was born a normal baby. I was the perfect weight and very cute. Things didn't stay like that for long though. By the time I reached 4 years old, I started putting on the weight.

My mother has a Polish background and my father a German background. My grandmother (Baba) lived behind our house while I was young and all I can remember from this young age with my grandmother was running over her house and getting fed Polish Sausage. This is were I picked up my first nickname, Sausage.
