Come and join the journey

Let’s go back 4 years…

4 years a go I embarked on a journey into a weight loss culture that I would would better my life… Little did I know what I’d be faced with 4 years down the line. At the beginning it was ALL about weight loss, how I looked, the number on the scale, the number in my clothing and how I could lose even more weight. But my journey now has taken a little slip road off… not reverting back to old habits but to learning to love myself along side working on my physical health and mental wellbeing.

A brief overview… at my lowest weight I had lost 7ston 4lbs. At the time, seeing a specific number on the scales made me feel empowered, successful, worthy. But did I feel healthy? NOT AT ALL! Did I think I’d be happy? Of course. Who doesn’t? Losing the weight of a small child of course you’d be happy, no? You can now live the life you’ve always wanted surely… but what life did I want? Back when I was just entering my teenage years of course I wanted to be in the popular group of friends, be fun, loving and confident. You know what I thought I was all those things, until I look back now. I will always hold close the fact that I am a fun and loving person. I love the people in my circle and will always hold them close. I pride myself on the fact that I am a little bit crazy and fun. But above all I ALWAYS thought I was confident – I wasn’t in the slightest.
