Hi everyone!
I think ive posted here once before..but ill start again...basically about a year ago i lost 7 pounds...and then i got lazy and havent lost anything since..but i havent gained anything either! now im back on track..because im so sick of my unhealthy lifestyle. im about a stone and a half over weight, and have been for the whole of my life! its getting to the point where im so sick of dreading summer EVERY year..bc im scared of ppl seeing the "real" me..its so weird i know..but i like hiding behind my big black coat in winter...in summer, i hardly go out bc i look so awful in t-shirts...and its just horrible. last summer, i went to kenya for a wedding, and was wearing a sleeveless dress thingy...at that point i was happy bc id lost some weight (7 pounds) so i was feeling a little confident...but then i came home, and looked at the pictures. all my cousins, my sisters and brothers were looking really nice, and there was me..a big whale. it was so depressing, i really felt embarrassed, like i had no right to be at the wedding. im in sixth form, and at school i dont make an effort with my clothes bc i feel like ppl are going to say, look at her..shes so fat y does she even bother? i know its bad, but i really feel horrible abt my self.
anyway..so ive now decided to take control of my life, and not hate my body. i want to do it for myself, bc i owe myself that. im so sick of ppl calling me fat and making fun of my weight. i dont deserve that...i bought an aerobics dvd (rosemary conley) bc im too self-conscious to go out and excercise...
can i join this society? i really want to lose weight..and need your support! Are there any tips/advice ppl can offer me about exercise, eating healthily etc? all ur achievements are so wonderful...i want to be a part of that!
im about 5"3 and weigh 9st9 pounds. ive put on 2 pounds in the last month or so, which isnt bad, but im still a stone and a half overweight. im 16 btw.
