Default Hi :3

Hi, I'm Itsuey, 19, almost 20. I'm a student at Bath Spa Uni doing Sociology (well, I am if they've sorted out my modules yet), Formula 1 fan, amateur writer and I'm aiming to be 37kg by next Summer.

I've had issues with my weight ever since I went to a private all girls high school, everyone there was really skinny and I really wasn't. When I was 12 I gave up eating lunch at school and instead only ate at home, but my mum doesn't buy into the whole healthy eating thing and all we got in the evenings was bread and jam and cake because she'd been at work all day and presumed we'd had a proper meal at lunch time. While in high school I also developed a self harm problem which got pretty severe when I was about 16 and led to me giving up on pretty much everything, including any sort of proper diet, a pattern which continued into 6th form when I moved to a local state school. The friends I made there weren't the skinniest bunch in the world and I ended up most lunch times in the local Co-op with them which didn't really do vegetarian food and so I lived off junk for 2 years there. It was only when I got out of 6th form having lived off icecream and chocolate during my A-Levels and trying to get into Uni that I realised I'd put on so much weight. I lost 9kg during my first year at Uni, partially because I wasn't eating nearly so much as I did at home, and partially because I just kept forgetting to eat and had to walk up and down hills so much to get around, I have however put on 3 since I came home, but as I'm leaving for uni on the 25th it's not so much as a disaster. I'm hoping this term that I'll be 47kg by the beginning of the Christmas holidays and as a friend explained to me what I should be eating to lose weight I hope I'll be slightly more successful than I was last year.

Sorry, that was a tad longer than I was expecting it to be...
