So, here we are again. In all honesty I must have spent a good chunk of my life trying to lose weight – it’s probably a rather scary percentage. I’ve been struggling ever since I was thirteen and was moved to a new school. It’s strange looking back because at the age of twelve and beyond I was a skinny child, but the minute I hit thirteen I seem to have ballooned up crazily.

It’s not fun being an overweight teenager and it’s not fun being an overweight twenty-something. I can’t believe I’m already on the upper end of twenty now. And I’m still struggling with my weight! Why does it have to be this way? Why can’t I just get things sorted? Why can’t I just remain committed to my weight loss and exercise regimes? Why can’t I just make it happen?

But then, that’s why I’m here: to make it happen. No more games, no more excuses. I want to get my body back into prime shape, without stupid fad diets or unhealthy diet products. I just need to do it right.

I have two arms, two legs and a good strong and healthy body. There is no excuse for what I’ve allowed myself to get like or how disrespectfully I treat myself.

So, a new me starts now.

I do hope you will follow me on my journey.
