fight for fitness

humblestudent

helo i'm liz

i have struggled with weight since i was about 10 years old. my mum left my country of origin to set a new life in the west and i grew up with my abusive grandparents. i have a serious long term illness called lupus (SLE) and the medication makes me put on weight, while over exercising will aggravate the illness and i may become very sick. i live in a tiny apartment in the city which is noisy and dark... so my environment doesn't make me happy... i have no job... which makes not so happy either. i have 1.5 years to go until i finish a university course which will lead to nowhere, which makes me feel abit disheartened and stressed.

all these things makes it hard to loose weight.... but i hope i can because this is the heaviest i've ever been in my life and i feel my self esteem drop to the gutter and i struggle with my fitness. i want to feel happy and confident again. i also love my food but thankfully i'm intolerant to wheat dairy and potato products so that helps me not pig out on junk food. recently i've started salsa dancing its been very very fun and i plan on doing yoga again like i used to. i have 2 lovely bunnies whom i love very much, i have a supportive mum and also a very loving and wonderful boyfriend too, and i am overcoming my social anxiety very slowly...

loosing weight is not just a figure on the scales... its a change of life. and i hope to change my life for the better...
