Hi everyone! Great to see the forum so active on a daily basis - I've been enjoying the inspiring stories and thought I should say hi!
A little bit about me – I'm Irish, in my twenties, and today live in London. Growing up as a child I was overweight - not obese, but enough to be bullied and to have had long lasting issues with my image that have impacted my behaviour and self-esteem through to this day. While I've had some success in shifting the weight (working on keeping it off!
) more recently I’ve experienced this through my Mam – a self-confessed yo-yo dieter who wants nothing more than to lose weight, but who has struggled with the extreme requirements of certain ‘quick result’ diets, something that sadly has impacted her happiness and sense of self-worth ..
This is an issue I care greatly about. I will soon be going to University in the US and upon graduating, I would like to dedicate my time and energy to understand if I can help make a personal contribution in helping others achieve greater success in their goals.
As part of that, I will be posting in the 'Off Topic' section (link below) with a request for some help from anyone generous enough to offer some of their time. If you have a moment, I'd really appreciate your input!
