I know there is a lot more inspirational people than me on here, and well done to all you fabulous ladies on your losses; you look amazing.

I wanted to post this photo because it's my 18th birthday on the 26th July and I want to make it a night to remember, I haven't got long to go and I wanted to have lost 4stone by then (5 weigh ins to go!).. I am only a third of the way through my journey... I want to lose a total of 10stone. I was afraid of going out for my birthday, all the other girls flaunting their skinny bodies and I would have to go out in a pair of leggings and wearing a cardigan because my legs/arms were disgusting. I was in Asda yesterday with my mum and I was having a quick ponder around the clothes section while my mum was getting the shopping, I picked up a few items in a size 14 and the same items in a 16. I tried on this dress in a size 14 and it fit me perfectly

not also that, the first time in a long time I looked at myself and didn't see myself humongous and disgusting. I near enough burst into tears as I can't remember the last time I could fit comfortably into a 14 as I have always been big. I didn't buy the dress as it clashes with my hair colour, I ordered one from boohoo.com - a strappy black dress that comes just a little above my knees and of course a beautiful pair of heels as I don't need an extra wide fit any more!
