My Weightloss Journey

                                                                                               Hiyaaaaaaaaa

im back today with quite a personal post, after seeing other girls blog about their weight loss journeys it really inspired me to write about my own, i feel i have alot to share with others and alot i want to talk about but sometimes its hard to talk about these things with people in your daily life and i want to reach out to others who are in or have been in the same position as myself. I believe its not always easy to understand how hard losing weight and getting healthy can be unless you have been there and experienced it for yourself, it definitely isn't always easy especially being young and the feelings, emotions and ups and downs can sometimes be really overwhelming but at the same time it is very rewarding when you start noticing changes and realising that your hard work and commitment is paying off! 

I have not always struggled with weight, in fact when I was a really young child it was quiet the opposite i was quiet skinny and my mother in fact had a challenge on her hands alot of the time to actually get me to finish my dinners! It wasn't until i was around 11 years old that  i began gaining most of the weight, i had  struggled to fit in at school and never really had alot of confidence i knew that starting senior school was going to be a struggle for me. Throughout school and as a child i can remember being bullied and at times it was very serious i believe to this day that this is the reason for my weight gain throughout the years and the reason my confidence and self esteem has always been low.  

There have been many occasions throughout my life that i have tried to lose weight but i have always given up or felt like I couldn't do it, i think something just needs to click in your mind and thats exactly how i feel now, I feel ready and more determined than ever to make this work and give myself the happiness i know i deserve, im fighting back and i will literally allow nothing to stop me reaching my goal, its hard and seems very slow but I know I will get there anybody can do it, you can do it. 

I joined Slimming World this year for the 3rd time and i have promised myself it will be the last time, before joining Slimming World i lost 10lb on my own and lost a further 2st 4lb following the plan, and it is the best thing i have ever done. 

I just cant wait to see what the future holds for me, i want my life back, there was a point where i couldn't bare to face people or leave my house for fear of being laughed at, stared at and made fun of but each day and every lb i lose things just get better.  

Here is a picture of my weight loss so far, I am not even half way through my mission yet and I am fully aware that i have a way to go. I have not got a target weight, or a particular size i would like to be, im basing this on my happiness and how I feel I look, im not allowing society to influence me, beautiful celebrities, super models, none of that. I just want to be a fully happy version of me and I know this is something I need to do for myself. 

Im not fully ready to share any other before pictures at this point, but heres one i found and would like to share with others :) i just hope by sharing just a little part of my journey i can help sombody realise that its not too late to make a change and it isnt impossible.
