Hi everybody, I'm new here and looking to find some mutual support.
I've just finished uni (mature student) and after months of putting it off, I've weighed myself! I've never had problems with my weight before however after years of eating on the go and laziness I'm stuck.
Until 3 years ago I was always 9 stone (size 10) without much effort (running a few times a week) but I'm now 12 stone (size 14) and can literally feel my weight increasing everyday. I feel full and bloated all the time. I realise that I'm not huge, but I'm so self conscious that I'm now struggling to leave the house because of what I look like. I'm a typical hourglass shape, and while sexy on Nigella Lawson isn't so sexy on the girl next door who's confidence is at rock bottom and who's wardrobe consists of black leggings and tank tops (I look fat)! I know women are meant to be curvy but my body is a disgusting shape, from the front my hips are really wide, my legs are really short because of thigh fat and my boobs are too big (34E, I used to be B/C).
I'd like to say that I've put my all into losing weight this past month but I'm struggling without any support. My Mum told me I was over weight the other day and instead of going for a run, I stuffed my face with chocolate, crisps and biscuits. I know what I'm meant to do, 6 years ago I was pregnant with my daughter and left hospital in size 10 jeans, but I don't know how to do it. If I'm hungry, stressed, angry, upset or happy I binge. Sometimes making myself sick just so I can do it again!
Every second of every day I think about my weight and what I look like. My relationship broke up because I was obsessed with my weight, and my friends have slowly disappeared because its all I talk about. It seems the more obsessed I get, the bigger I get!
Untimely from this joining this site I'd like to meet somebody interested in healthy weight loss, who I can support and who can support me.
