So I'm new in town...
 
Hiya Everyone!

My name is Emma, I’m 29 and from London, England. So I have pretty much been overweight all of my life, as is everyone in my immediate family pretty much! I kind of always just accepted that I was destined to be large even though I guess you say that I actually have a pretty healthy diet full of fruit and vegetables just in rather too larger portions. I have never met a second portion that I didn’t like.

I have never really seriously dieted before rather more just decided at random times in my life to “eat healthy” and of course everything goes great for a month or so, and then I get bored. That is my main problem I get bored, lose interest and end up back with all my bad habits firmly in place.

The turning point came about a month ago when I turned 29 and hated the train wreck that was my life. I hated my job, my life and my body in particular and despaired of seeing in 30 in the same boat. So call this my rebellion against the old me I guess; I have kicked my job into touch and am finally doing something about my weight. I have even managed to talk my mother in to doing it with me!

So hopefully this is my first step in the right direction and maybe I will finally be able to let someone take my picture without trying to hide behind a pot plant!

Welcome Emma, I think you will find that a few small changes can make a big difference in how you feel, but I find being consistant is very important. Great idea to have your Mom join you in your new healthy lifestyle, you can support each other along the journey.

Since Chicks can be a little overwhelming at first, you might look into joining a support group or challenge to make friends and help keep you on track.
