Hey :)
Well. I'm 18 years old, weigh 182lbs and am 5'7". I've never really had any issues with bullying, so I know I've been very lucky, but at the same time I know people aren't idiots, and I haven't fooled anyone into not thinking I'm overweight. I have decided enough is enough. Prom was a miserable time for me (Although I live in the UK and it's not such a big deal over here) and I was really close to not going. So I am going to start over :)
I joined the local gym so I can go whenever I get chance, but not joined any classes yet. The Les Mills ones look good. I don't have any scales, but there is a very accurate pair at the gym so I'll use that. I have also started a food diary, although someone once advised me not to count calories because it can become an obsession. I'm still going to be keeping a very close eye on what I eat, though.
I also have a 4 year old brother and a 6 year old sister, and would prefer it if they didn't go through school having to hear things like 'You're sister is fat'. I couldn't cope with being an embarrassment to them.
Anyway, the point is I'm looking to start a healthier, happier life, where I can go out with friends and not worry about the way I look or what people think. I really need more confidence.
I'll keep you updated ;)
