I'm half way there! (Pics included)

Hey everyone I'm faye. I'm 24 years old, five foot nothing short and this is my weight loss journey so far.

Where to begin?
Okay,
So back when I was 17 I was diagnosed with pcos but I never had a weight issue. I was 8 and a half stone, size 8 tiny little teenager with a bounty of energy, a physically demanding job and a very active social life.
From 17 to 21 I gradually gained weight, most was through complacency and eating my money. I grew up in a home where food wasn't prioritised and I often went without, so, as soon as I got a job and moved out I spent what money I had on food, takeaways, restaurants,meal deals, anything that didn't require cooking... I was young, living independently, what can you expect lol.
Other things contributed to my weight gain, a break down of a relationship, binge drinking, more takeaways and the freedom to to what I wanted when I wanted all played towards me hitting my pre baby weight of 9 and a half stone.

Back in 2011 I met the man of my dreams and *kitten* happend fast. We somehow ended up putting a bun in my oven, three months into our relationship! Don't ask me how, but it happened and after being told I would never be able to conceive naturally because of my pcos I was so incredibly frightened about having a baby that I wraped myself up in metaphorical cotton wool and stayed away from as much activity as I could, and I'll bet we already know what my comfort was, but I'm gonna tell you anyway, food.
Crisps,pop,chocolate,biscuits,cups of tea,cakes,more chocolate, honestly you would think i was about to hibernate not have a baby.
Anyway. Throughout my pregnancy and for a short time after me and the man in my life had some housing issues resulting in us living in 2 bed and breakfasts and a hostel while I was pregnant. During this time we had no kitchen so we ate out. Everynight.
My pregnancy became an excuse to eat ever more, swapping standard portions for large ones and so the story goes on.
My baby was born in 2012 and she has been my saving grace but postnatal depression, a miscarriage, a house move and two christmas's didn't help with the comfort eating.

Back at the beginning of this year i decided enough was enough and I needed to make a change but I had no idea where to start so I got myself on a list to see a dietician and continued to eat like a horse until it started.
August this year marked the beginning of this journey when I started seeing my dietician.
On the 14th of August I officially weighed the heaviest I have ever at 11 stone 2 lb. it doesn't sound like much but for my little frame it is, or should I say was (yay)

This has by far been harder than anything. I've had good days and bad days, ups and downs. Days where I've been under and days where I've doubled on the calories. I've wanted to give up more than I've wanted to carry on but I've persevered.
So far I have lost 15lb. That's half way to my target of 30lb which would take me to 9stone.
A healthy weight for my height and size.
So here, and please don't laugh at the state of me, are my progress photos.
I honestly couldn't have done it without the support of MFP and the people I have befriended through it and not to mention the rock that is my other half, without him I'd probably still be complaint how fat I am while eating cake and drinking coke!
If I can do it so can you

Ps. A lot of work is still needed and i've lost this weight by changing my eating habits. I don't exersize much and if I do it's not for long!
And I also apologise for any spelling errors.... I can't proof read!
Thanks for reading my story
