I am grateful for the other posts on here that have made me realise that whilst it is important that I restart a goals centred approach to improving my health and fitness, there are many other things in life that need to be celebrated :)

Hi - I drank quite a bit before WLS, but found that my relationship after surgery changed - I was becoming much more reliant on alcohol. I tried to reduce the amount I drank several times without success. I also drank at weekends, but found myself thinking about the weekends too much, yearning for the Friday night binge.…
