Humble Beginnings...

Hey there!

Well here I am! I hope you're alright.
I've got to say, just a couple of weeks ago I didn't think I'd be starting this blog or even this journey. See, I've got a lot of weight to lose and I need to be getting on it asap. This blog is going to be extremely honest and open about the highs and lows of life and weight loss. As I am in life, so shall I be in this blog.

I am 25 years old and currently weigh 15 stone. I am only 5'2". For me, life has gotten so uncomfortable. I feel so self conscious. I get worried about leaving the house because I think people are staring at me thinking:

"Wow she's so fat, why has she left the house?"

OR

"Why is she buying food, hasn't she eaten enough?"

I got to the point where I was no longer enjoying food. I'd eat and just keep eating until I felt absolutely stuffed. Then I'd feel sick and beyond bloated. Unfortunately it became a habit of mine to comfort eat. Just like others find comfort in alcohol, cigarettes, sex... I get my comfort from food. When my anxiety gets really bad, I feel like the only thing I can control is my food. I'm working on not doing that!

I will be updating this blog every Friday after I've had my weekly weigh in. I will talk all about what I've done and the things I've eaten over the previous week and I'll document my current weight & measurements.

If you're on a weight loss journey yourself, or you're just into eating right and keeping fit, please grab a cuppa and comment down below for a chat. Alternatively, come and follow me on Twitter. I'm always there for a chat.
