Hi all. I've regularly visited this website to get inspiration to lose the blubber. I'm 5'9 and weigh 234 pounds and want to get down to about 145. Up untill i was 17, I used to be between a uk size 12-14 which i think for usa sizing is about a 8-10, i'm now a uk size 18 and us size 14.
I was 26 on 21st feb and over the past 9yrs I have been on a diet. I have got into the swing of things and exercised and eaten healthily and lost a couple of stone then the temptation for calorific food would take over and id end up binge eating and putting the weight back on.
To cut a long story short, it seems like i have a love affair with food. I know it sounds sad but it makes me feel good when i eat calorific food. Don't get me wrong, i love fruit and some vegetables but i'm a binge eater and on a binge i just alternate between sweet and savoury food.
When i was younger i had so much game, i used to dress nicely, get quite a lot of attention and go out all the time and have a laugh. Over the years i haven't bothered to make myself look good with clothes, make up and nice hair because i haven't felt good. I've rarely been out because i either couldn't find anything to wear or i just didn't feel good in myself in my clothes next to all the slim, good looking girls. I just felt rotten. Also, when i've walked the streets people have looked at me like i was repulsive. Which hurts.
I'm not getting younger, so the thing is i NEED to do something about this now.
CHANGES The thing is now i've just started a full time job and slowly but surely i'm starting to fix myself up. I started by getting my hair done, wearing make up and smart, professional clothes to work and people no longer look at me like i'm completely disgusting. I'm going out tomorrow for the first time since last may and im going to have a wicked time.
I'm starting a gym membership where fitness classes such as pilates, spinning and legs bums and tums are free. When i finish work i feel like i want to get out and do something because i've been in the office all day. So im motivated to work out 30-45mins 3/4 times a week. I want to get out and socialise more and enjoy life.
The part which i find hard in all of this is conquering the binge eating, yo yo dieting and how not to fall off the wagon but keep chipping away at this weight.
So any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated, because i really really want a HOT body!
Thanks for reading.

you sund very focused. It's nice isn't it when you get into that certain frame of mind where you can say I'm going to do this and actually do it!
