Hi there i just wanted to share my story so other girls my age and height etc can see and also to see if there are any similar girls out there who have reached their goal weight. Im 5ft 8in btw.

Anyway my story is that as soon as i began high school i ate the wrong things. I was given money by my mum to buy lunch. I got sausage rolls and hot chips, wedges with sour cream you name it, everyday and on the weekends i would have whatever i want from chocolate to chinese. I didn't realise at all what i was doing to my body. It was only till i reached my first year of university that i realised i had put on some weight. I thought i was still fine though. My boyfriend at the time told me straight out one day that i need to lose some weight. I was quite upset but i lose 6 or 7kg. It didn't last though and after another year went by i gained more. I was now up to 89kg and then my highest was 97kg and about 6 months ago i was so depressed and felt like i would always be fat. I didn't know what foods to eat that were healthy. i didn't know what sort of exercise to do so i turned to diet pills hoping they would fix it all. I was so dumb. But then I started researching and i visited the nutritionist at my doctors she started me off a month ago and so far ive lost 9kg. I exercise every day and count my calories and now i couldn't eat any takeaway without knowing how bad it was. I only feel anxious that what im doing wont work even though it is. I also only half believe ill ever make it to a lower weight. Only because ive never been slim and i can't imagine myself but i still want it.

    Keep going, you can do it! It takes a bit of time but you will get there. The slow kilos will stay off, the quick ones come back. Go girl!

    You're doing great.

    Don't give up, whatever you do. You may not see changes in the short term, but imagine this time in 6 months how far you would have come. Feel free to add me, I'm happy to be a friend :)
