I'm very, very pleased to have found this site- I don't have anyone to diet with in real life and I'm clueless on all things nutritional, so the support and tips exchanged here will be most helpful!
A little about me: I'm 25 (26 next week!), and I used to have a lovely, trim little figure, but over the last five or six years I've gradually piled on the pounds. The trouble is, I have a sweet tooth and I love food. My downfall was cake, Maple & Pecan Plaits, Cinnamon Swirls, and White Choc Chip Cookies. Mmmmm.....caaaaake......:sigh:
Anyway, over time I went from 8stone 7lbs to my current weight of approximately 12stone 7lbs (I can't be sure since I don't actually own a pair of scales, and can't afford to buy any until next week). Although I will miss cookies and cake desperately, I've decided to do something about it. Being overweight is making me unhappy, and that just isn't worth the fleeting pleasure of a white chocolate chip. I've also found the last few months hard because I've started university, and being surrounded by thin and pretty 18-year-olds all day long has really made me take a look at myself. It hasn't half given my ego a knock...
So, here I am. I hope to become a part of this community and to make some friends!
LOVE YOUR WOBBLES! :gen126:
p.s. How do I upload an avatar? I tried the link under profiles but for some reason it wouldn't work....
