Hi, my name is Kara, I am a loving mother to 8 wonderful children :)
I've battled with my weight ever since i was a child :(
I havebeen obese and then lost weight more times than I care to remember :(
Life threw me many curve balls and I always got through the only way i knew how, by turning to food.....
In 2008 weighing my heaviest 116.2kg I took the drastic step and had weight loss surgery, I was lap banded. In the next few years I lost over half my body weight, but i was incredibly unwell and in all honesty, couldn't eat :'(
In December 2011 and 11 weeks pregnant I was rushed in for emergency removal of my band, it had slipped and was strangling my stomach.
Fast forward to August 2013, I had just given birth to my last child, and i was heading back towards triple digits again :(
I restarted my journey at 96.5kg, which at my height 149cm is incredibly big :(
But this time It's different, I'm in a great place :)
I have the right mind set, and i have stopped dieting and have changed my life style :)
I'm incredibly proud of my achievements, but sadly within my self I feel horrible, the happy go lucky person people see, is not really how I feel :(
Every day I'm reminded of what I've done to my body, how I've ruined my skin :(
My excess skin is bad, it makes me feel revolting, it brings me shame and means I can't wear properly fitting clothes :(
I am determined to rid myself of this skin and rid myself of my self hate at the same time!
I don't care how long i need to save, as a mother I always put everybody elses needs in front of my own, but it's time to start thinking about myself, because you know what, i deserve to be happy and to love my body, and love myself :)
