Hi everyone!
I stumbled upon this forum a few days ago on accident and joined. My name's Laura, I'm 18 years old and my weight is about 238 lbs/108 kg. I've gained it a little at a time. I've never been thin and I blame some of this on my family's habits, but I know I've gotten here because I never liked exercise and ate wrong.
My self-esteem is really, really low. I'm not bullied at my current school, where people are bit more mature and nice, but the bullying in the past has really affected me. Every time I was heckled (didn't even happen that often) I would just lose every bit of self-confidence I had and cry when I got home. And it doesn't help I've been battling depression for a few years now.
Now I've made a decision to change my life and start enjoying my life. I got a gym membership and slowly, I've started to like exercising through zumba, jambaila and all the fun classes. I've been able to eat more healthy and I've lost about 5 pounds/2 kg. It's not much, but it's a start.
Hey, the class fatty here
