Hey there everyone, my name's Jade, I'm 18 and I'm from London.
I'm not too good at introductions, so forgive me if this is too long/boring etc.
Last year my parents got divorced and since then I've struggled with depression and overeating as a result of it, and used food to cope with the stress of money worries etc. that the divorce has bought on aswell, meaning I've put on somewhere close to 2 stone as a result of everything.
At the beginning of April I was 5'2" and 11st. and I decided that enough was enough, so I made a promise to myself to change my lifestyle. I signed up to the gym - I now go 5-6 times a week for at least an hour - and learnt to cook - before I was living on ready made meals or not eating proper meals at all unless my boyfriend cooked me dinner.
Since then I've lost half a stone, so at the moment I'm 147lb and my goal is to get down to 126lb. Ideally I would like to be around 120lb, but I'm taking it a step at a time. I'm quite excited to have found this community, my friends aren't supportive and my mother is always putting me down. The only support I have at the moment is my boyfriend but I'm looking forward to speaking with people who are going through the same struggle.
