Hi all!
I'm new here, so hope it's ok for me to post on this forum. I'm Emily and i'm 18, and after so long with my head in the sand, I know I need to sort myself out.
I've always been on the bigger side, but started to gain weight towards the end of school and really piled it on in college. I've always been the happy-go-lucky one in my mates and ignored it really, even though I knew deep down how bad it was. I know most people don't really understand it if theyve not been big, but it really is easier to bury your head in the sand sometimes.
I started uni in September, and as soon as I got here I could feel I was putting on weight with all the nights out and junk food. I did my usual ignoring it at first but by last weekend I felt really concious of it, struggling to even get into my biggest clothes. I was out shopping in Boots and saw the scales and decided to weigh myself out of curiosity.
I was just mortified when I saw the weight, and that i've put on 2 stone since starting uni - in 2 months!!
At first I just had my usual reaction and thought oh well. But sat at home that night, I just knew something had to change. It actually scares me when I think about how i've put on weight like that and where i'm going to end up if I don't do something. It probably sounds daft when I was already so big, but I can feel the difference even from two months ago. I was never fit (obviously!) but its literally getting a struggle even walking around campus even though some of my mates say thats just in my head.
I just know I need to do something now before I end up having a heart attack, so here I am and I hope i'm going to find this place a big help in getting rid of this weight
