Hey guys,
So, I've been fluctuating in my weight for all of my teenage life - I'm currently 19 years old, 5 ft 4 and just over 11 stone (156lbs).
My biggest problem has always been motivation and willpower, but I think I may be an emotional eater as well since my weight always seems to rise around exam times or in some other stressful periods of my life. I have a lovely boyfriend who always tells me I'm beautiful just the way I am, but I just wish I could believe him
I'm trying to work out what it is that is contributing to my weight gain so as to fix the problem... I tend to be quite hard on myself for what I look like and ultimately end up with a low self esteem so I feel like there's no point trying and end up falling off track... I was at my lightest last year (10 stone) but then got stressed again and put it all back on which was soul-destroying so I want to make sure I don't fall into a downward spiral and get any bigger!! hoping that by joining this community I'll be more motivated and inspired. I just want to feel like I can do this.
Anyways, sorry for giving my life story haha, hoping to get to know you all soon!
