**** long post alert ***ps sorry my spelling is terrible !
My names Lauren , I've been dieting since the age of 10 ! I'm 30 on the 22nd October . I've been obsessed with my weight for 20 years !!!! I'm sick of how the scales control my life , control my mood and make me feel inadequate if they haven't gone down . I don't want to reach 30 and still be controlled by the scales . This will be hard for me but I have to do this . I don't want to wake up feeling inadequate because if the scales anymore . I struggle enough with my body image as it is . The scale only makes it worse . Im no longer weighing . It will be hard and I no the urge to weigh will always be there . Anybody else had this experience ??
