I'm in the studio with the lovely Tina Malone (who incidentally plays my fave character in Shameless - Mimi Maguire). Tina has lost a whopping 10 stone in 2 years, she's gone from a size 28 to a size 8 - thanks to a strong sense of self-discipline in conjunction with having a gastric band fitted, and Tina's on air today revealing that 60% of the population support NHS funded weight loss surgery and that 1 in 3 of us would consider weight loss surgery.

Weight loss surgery is not an easy solution to solve the UKs obesity problem, but it can seriously help those who are morbidly obese. But it's not an easy / lazy fix - as Tina's making us aware. It takes dedication and hard work to work in conjunction with the band. Healthy eating and exercise is all part of the parcel.

Tina believes that the NHS need to support people who suffer from obesity - just like alcoholics or drug addicts would be supported. For some, eating can be an addiction. Whether it's caused by childhood issues, bullying, low self-esteem - people who are morbidly obese, people whose lives are at risk, these people need help.
