    Sorry had to cut my post short before - screaming toddler.

    Whereabouts in Melbourne are you? I would love the details of your surgeon - thanks so much.

    I am feeling in a much better place psychologically now that we are back here so i need to get into a mindset to get healthy again. It is not motivation i am lacking it is commitment and then when i lost commitment i lose motivation. If that makes sense. I find it really hard to push through pain barriers (whether than be back/breast pain or indeadequate fitness pain) and then it gets too much. Or for instance, hubby and i had been eating well and getting into good routines and now i have been sick for a month since starting my new job (back to childcare work) and will take time for my immunity to build. Sensible me knows sweating it out is great to kick the bugs but sick me is like - uh... yeah right.

    Anyway sorry for that long winded chatter-blab Point is, i am keen to make changes to myself to make it a better 'opportunity' i jsut have a lot to work on. Life has been a bit stalled with how incapcitated i feel by my breasts (clothing is the worst thing) but i leapt a hurdle and got married instead of putting off the big day for when everything would be perfect - know what i mean?

    Anyway - you should hang around BellyBelly - its a great community!!

    Surgeon

    I can't seem to find his phone number online (I would have to find the original letter I got from him last year)
    But his name is David Hunter Smith and he works out of Coastal Plastic Surgery Centre in Mornington. I live in the Bayside area, whereabouts are you?

    I know what you mean about all the interruptions to getting on with weight loss etc, even after I have lost so much weight I still have bad weeks but that is why I love weight watchers so much. You never feel judged and it just feels so easy to ask for advice and get back on track again. I have probably 'fallen off the wagon' at least 4 or 5 times in the 8 months I have been going but have still managed to almost get to my goal weight cause i didn't want to ruin my hard work and the whole time I had this surgery in my head, thinking how good I would feel when I have a smaller body as well as smaller boobs
    Thanks for the links to the other forums, I'll check them out!
