Hello everyone 
I am all new to this forum after spending the past three days googling on weightloss tips and tricks and all that, and I am hoping to find inspiration here!
I'm 25, living in Canterbury and my bum has been big ever since I was little, but this has to change. Generally, I live with a very low self esteem, started to dislike people and their very vocal opinions about this and basically, I wouldn't mind to be a hermit due to my weight, but that has to change!
This year I have set myself a few goals, attacked some of them, but there is the one goal that is such a struggle - to lose weight...
I don't know how much I weigh, I like to avoid the truth, but it keeps hitting me in the face when I want to buy clothes. There aren't so many nice things for sizes 24 (tendency to 26 sometimes), and usually it doesn't look the way I want it to either. Shopping depresses me!
I work in a busy environment - hospitality. Everything included from running around up to 6 hours a day, to cooking (with those guilty pleasures), to sitting. Generally though, it's a pretty active job and I enjoy it a lot. However, when not working, I am "selectively active" as my boyfriend told me... I can be so lazy!
So now I have actually set my mind to "get off your bum and do something", which is alright, just the practice is lacking. I'd love to join a gym, but I am too paranoid of mouthy people - you get them everywhere. Slimming Classes - yes, I would do them, if they weren't too time set (the job gives me odd hours, so I couldn't be somewhere at a time each week). And also, I am not sure whether it would be a waste of time/money... but I guess I can explore peoples opinions and experiences here!
I just need a kick up the bum, and I guess I need it from people who go through the same as I do. My boyfriend, skinny lad, says I have to go through this on my own (pfft!), which I don't agree on!
Anyway, once I start I keep writing until it's a novel. I think this website looks great, and I am hoping to possibly find some hints on how to do things and maybe even a weightloss buddy (how do you find those!!)!
