Hi, My name is peter. I am a 22 years old french student. I come from a pretty harsh background with a violent suicidal father and a depressed mother. My father's dead now and my mother attempted suicide but failed. In 2014 I tried to get myself together and lost about 80 poudns. going from 250 pounds to 170 pounds.
In 2015 my mom pretty much turned her back on me and decided to trust her boyfrend more than me. I was living 1 hour away from her and didnt see her for a few month wich was not a problem for me atm, if she was happy, I was ok with it. After a few month and lots of lies from her I confronted her and she admitted her BF was a crook she gave him 35k and he ran away. She was heavily in debt winning 1100€/month and owing 1300€/month. She attempted suicide and called me at least 3x a week cryning for about two month. I almost quit school but hung on and helped her dealing with her emotionnal struggle and took care of her finances for a few month. But how did I manage to take care of her while going in school ? Well you guessed it, I became a big emotionnal eater, even boulimic. I would feed myself up to the point I would puke. I now weigh about 227 pounds.
Now that she's better, now that I managed to be admitted in the school I was aiming for (kind of a french ivy league school in the IT field) , I decided it's time to come back. I now live in south of france and will be moving in Paris in 2 weeks. I would like to come back to my 170 pounds. The firt time went on my wight loss journey I had free professionnal help thanks to college, now I'm on my own. Last time i did it in 9 month I'd like to reach 190 in 7 month and 170 in 9. So it's slower but I will have to deal with more stress than the first time and a lot of new elements.
To keep track of my progress, I will try to keep a weekly vlog, this as much an archive for me that it is a way to share with you guys. I read the link policy and hope it wont be considered as a spam link, as I am genuinly sharing this so we can help each other out. I am not monetizing those or anything, I just want to share, see you soon guys
