Weight loss thoughts and realisations..

MsLauraM

I'm in the middle of some pretty powerful thoughts and realisations right now. I'm 25. I'm in my "prime" and I hide away from life. Photos and friend catch-ups scare me. I'm the heavy friend in a group of four where the other three are naturally very slim. I hide and un-tag myself from photos on social media so others don't see me and think about how much weight I've gained. I don't buy nice clothes.
But I can change all of that, and I've started to. There's no reason why I can't and shouldn't lose the weight if I work to. I deserve to feel feminine, beautiful and possibly even petite one day. I deserve to feel happy and confident in my looks.
There's no reason that any of us can't reach our goals, big and small. We're all here to support each other. I feel confident and supported enough to admit that I currently weight 94.6kg and that I am aiming to lose another 30kg. We've got this! 1 gram at a time, we've really got this!

Add me so we can support one another!

Ms Laura, sweet pea. 25 is young, even if it feels otherwise. And while it *is* more difficult to find cute clothes when you're not a size X (fill in what you think is ideal), it can (and should) be done. Find clothes that fit and feel good. "Prime" is subjective and fluid. I invite to try and feel feminine and beautiful as you are ... and as you will become, grow into. Be kind to yourself and feed your soul while you diet, exercise, and work your way to where you want to be. But, above all, enjoy the journey. If you can (try to be) happy in your looks now ... just imagine how awesome you will feel when you reach your goals. The outside may change, but the inside is constant. Is you. Celebrate that.

I hate having my photo taken, which sucks because my wife LOVES taking my picture when I'm fat. Always keeping an eye out for her and her iPhone...
