Hello!
Welcome to my weight loss diary!
The name's Charli and I weigh about 16st and I'm 21 years old this Friday.
And I am so unhappy with myself.
I have been a bit fat for my whole life - and by 'a bit fat' I mean a lot fat. I became conscious of my size at about thirteen/fourteen years old and ever since then my weight has been a constant battle. I've gone through periods where I have lost weight and been totally committed to the cause and then stupidly fallen off the wagon and gained it all back.
But I'm not focusing on the negatives. I'm focusing on the positives. I know that there is a woman inside me waiting to blossom; a woman who has her own style, a woman who is confident, a woman who doesn't avoid mirrors and clothes shops and swimming pools. And I'm determined that from today she will emerge victorious.
So there we go! I'm going back to university in a couple of weeks and I'm joining the gym and Weight Watchers when I get there. I'm hoping to get into a really good routine of exercise and university work. My biggest problem is that if I'm not stimulated enough I eat; that's why being at home is such a problem for me - I get bored and I eat and eat and eat.
So there we go. This is my time. I'm no longer going to be the shy little fat girl who has to shop at Evans and can't look at herself in photographs or in the mirror. I'm going to be the woman I want to be, beautiful and confident. Wish me luck
