The kg... I've always wanted to lose...my story :D

Hey guys hello everybody! ^__^ I'll introduce myself my name is Linda I'm 28 and I'm a teacher. I found out about this website through its mobile app actually randomly looking on the google store. Here's my story ^__^

Since I was a kid I was always the chubby one. Not really fat, just quite chubby. My mum was never very good at cooking so we often ate out or many processed food. So even if I wasn't eating much I was still gaining too much weight. My parents always told me that the round and chubby me was beautiful so I never thought I had a problem since I was in high school.

Well...about the time I was 15 I realized I weighted too much when the guy I had a crush on said that he wasn't going to go out with me because I was too fat, so not good enough. Taking aside the fact that this guy was an *kitten*, I finally realized that I was in denial, I was obviously overweight, no matter what my parents said. I started to feel bad about myself but I couldn't do anything until I was under my parent's roof. Our family habits were too hard to change.

When I was 18 I told my mum that I wanted to lose the weight so she started to feed me grilled chicken with nothing but salt on it and boiled plain vegetables. Of course that gave me the idea that losing weight meant to eat inedible food....I don't want to put all the blame on my mum, but truth is when you are young the eating habits of your family really affect you. I wasn't still mature and independent enough to have my own opinion about a healthy lifestyle.

Anyway, I started to change when I got into university...I started to play tennis again (I stopped when I was 13) and also did other sports. A big turning point for me was a study trip to korea...I found out that people over there not just eat mostly healthy food on a regular basis but also are very well informed about a healthy lifestyle. While I was there I lost some weight easily just eating at the university cafeteria everyday. After this experience I found out what I was doing wrong and have a glimpse of an alternative healthy lifestyle...but of course all the bad habits came back when I was back home with my parents. I tried to reduce the quantities of what I ate, but I was still eating unhealthy so I eventually gained weight, just slower. Unfortunately none of my friends have ever been on a diet. They are all effortlessly thin so they couldn't be of any help when we were out for dinner.

The real change happened one year ago when I was finally able to MOVE OUT. I know it looks like I have no control over my food but try to diet when everybody around you is eating junk food and your kitchen shelves are filled with nutella jars... ç__ç
Anyway finally away from my family bad eating habits I started to gradually lose some weight....then I had to write my thesis and stopped do any sport so I gained again thinking that I could lose the weight after my graduation....

5 month ago my longtime bf broke up with me so something really clicked inside my brain for the first time. In the past I would stop my fitness routine every time that I saw acceptable results, but not even once I felt like I was 100% in shape. Always some fat here...some fat over there....this time I'm determined to lose all the weight that I need in order to look fabulous, bikini ready, smoking hot and whatever Also I want to proudly said that I didn't gave up on sports so easily I want to train and run next year's marathon in my city !

...ok sorry if this was very long if there are also some lovely chubby girls out there who are struggling with these few kilos like me, please feel free to add me so we can support each other! When you aren't dealing with the big numbers it is really a slow process, let's stay strong together!



I love this site and its amazing community I know just knowing that you are there it is going to be an amazing support for me ^__^
