Hi everyone. This is my first time on the forum and I thought I'd just introduce myself!
I'm Adele. I'm 20 and a student and I've been overweight since ... forever. I reckon I'm about 16 stones right now (which feels really embarrassing to admit). But I'm about to graduate this year and my boyfriend has ditched me, so it feels like a great time to get on top of things and feeling good about my body. When I look at myself I just feel frustrated and angry and I've not bought new clothes for about 8 months, so I know I'm definitely ready.
I've started running more and becoming really aware of what I eat and drink, how much margarine I put on my toast etc. This morning, when walking home from my run, a 12 year old boy shouted something along the lines of 'fat _______rd'. I'm really not an aggressive person, but I was so proud of myself after my run that I turned around and asked the boy if he had something to say, to which he replied 'that wasn't aimed at you'. Must have been talking to the tree we were next to then! Anyway ... after that I just feel like I want to do this more than ever before.
I'm really committed to make a change and I hope I can find some support from like-minded people when I'm feeling close to temptation! So, yeah. Hi everyone.
Hello!
