Hey guys,
I'm Kay.
I found this site during my desperate search to lose weight! It seems like you're all out to help each other so I'll be sticking around here as I need all the help I can possibly get.
Where do I start?
I guess I have always been the 'bigger' person in almost every situation. Throughout my childhood I was quite a chubby kid but I was always up and down in weight.
I left home when I was 17 and moved to Birmingham to carry on with my studying and life. I was overweight when I left home but not to the extent where it made me feel slobby and unhappy. Now after living alone for almost 3 years, I have gained a lot more weight. There is no excuse for it but I think the main reason for this is my lifestyle. So here's how an average day goes for me..
-5:00am. Get out of bed and leave the house for 5:30am. Arrive at work for 7:00am. (It is a long journey)
-3:00pm. Leave work. Arrive home near 5:00pm. Clean, tidy, eat. Then I pretty much have to be in bed again near 8:00pm to get a decent night sleep before my day repeats itself again!
I feel like I have no time to do anything? And because my day is such a long, strenuous day, I find myself eating a lot to keep up the energy levels. My eating patterns change all the time. I do not drink often or go out often enough to socialise. I feel like all I am doing is working, sleeping then eating. I want to change my lifestyle so badly! I have searched for new jobs (I need to be closer to home), and even searched for a new home closer to my current job to buy me a little more time to myself. There is nothing out there! And it is such a shame because I love being outdoors and playing sports as I did in my younger years. The idea of spending time getting fit really enlightens me but I just can't find the will power or time to do it. This is causing me to feel really down and yes, I just eat to make myself feel better.
Ok I said it. I actually admitted that I eat to fill that gap I feel when I know I am failing.
At the minute I feel like a big lazy slob on the outside but an angry little woman on the inside because deep down I know I can do it! my size has never affected my confidence, I just want to feel good and healthy.
Now I know some of you are probably reading this and thinking oh my, this girl can really waffle on. But it's like my cry for help! I need some advice and some stories of your own to help me understand. I want to lose weight and I really think i can do it with the help of others.
Once again guys, sorry for dragging it out! I needed to get that off my chest.
I am not usually so negative, I have a positive outlook on life and I am full of fun! I just need a good kick up the A*$ to get motivated!
Thanks for reading
