edited October 2 in Success Stories
One year ago today I made the first step to losing weight. I've not been consistant, I've not got numbers that will make me a world record holder but I've learnt loads, put an eating disorder to bed, rediscovered the competitive me, and am so much happier.

So 44 lbs and 365 days later this is me.

ETA: fixed the pictures :)

    I was bulimic/anorexic as a teen, hospitalised for months, then I became a secret binge eater, then less secret. The only way I've been able to make significant change is that the 9 months leading up to starting to diet and live healthier I started to sort out my head, made some big changes in my life and the things and people that were making me unhappy. Figured out a way to be happy at 285lbs and THEN started worrying about my weight. I have fallen off a lot of times over the last 12 months but I've always stopped it quickly and sorted myself out. I find exercise helps me a lot and I found parts of my personality I'd buried as a teen and I'm 29 now!

    I now have self esteem at any weight but I'm happier and healthier than I was then.

    Like someone up there said, I'm setting new goals, I want to see what I can achieve by NYE, then by my holiday in Feb next year, then this time next year. I hope to beat my weight loss this year.

    I think you should be very proud that you are here a year later to share your pictures. Many people have a hard time committing to anything for a year. Good job!
