edited January 8 in Introduce Yourself
Ive struggled with my weight for years.I comfort eat when life gets hard and ive had a hard time in the past..Ive lived in care,Bullied at school, which left me not having any education from the age of 12 as the authorties gave up on me and labelled me school phobic :/I have suffered sexual abuse as a child.Ive lost a child and been in a abusive realtationship physically and mentally.Ive been married,cheated on,divorced which lead to me being homeless and having to do things to survive,things im not proud of but to anyone that expeirenced homelessness you lose all pride and all purpose.I have overcome years of self harming and given up smoking all these things and yet the hardest one for me is to lose weight and feel happy of my apperance.Alot of people see me as being vain, because of me constantly asking for opinions on how i look and checking my apperance.This is further from the truth…Im still a long way off from my goal but im going to add “getting to goal weight” to my list of accomplishments.This is me so far and although it sounds like a woe is me it isnt its a look at how strong i am and i wouldnt change it because its given me more understanding then a book could give and more empathy then i thought possible.Ive turned myself round from a girl who thought life was there to **** you over and whos attitude absolutely sucked into someone who cares and whos feelings for people are genuine.This is me so far :)
