The above picture doesn't apply to anyone as much as it applies to me. I am 24 years old and have struggled with my weight since I was about 16/17. It's 2013 and the media has only put more and more pressure on women to look their best. I am most definitely at the heaviest weight I have been EVER and it's started to affect my relationship and self confidence.
I work as a Personal Assistant in Mayfair and as you can imagine there are beautiful people everywhere (again adding more pressure), but sitting at a desk all day doesn't really help.
I moved in with my boyfriend of 6 months 2 weeks ago (I know very soon, but don't judge me) and when you get in that comfort zone with a guy you don't watch what you eat so much because you know you have someone at home who loves you no matter what you look like. I recently joined the gym close to my apartment and plan to work out 5 days a week, "plan" being the operative word! I am an avid "yo-yo dieter" and finally came to the conclusion that if I want to shift my excess "baggage" as I like to call it, I just need to make smarter choices and stay active.
I feel like one of the greatest inventions as of late is Pinterest. You wouldn't believe the amount of health & fitness pins on there which I feel will guide me on my way to becoming healthier.
As my first blog post I just need to get it in my head that "If I'm tired of starting over, I need to stop giving up", and I hope readers can follow me on my healthy journey <3
