Hey!
I start with a bit of a introduction though I’m sure that you will get to know me while you take this wonder-ous journey with me, so um Hi *waves* I’m Nessy and I’m 23. I’ve got a desk job which is stressful and bloo*y boring at the same time.
I’ve always been the chubby fat girl and it has only been since I hit the age of 18 that I started the delightful time of dieting, I guess that’s the time I started wanting to investigate boys. I managed once to get to a happy size 16, I managed it by spending the summer holiday before I started Uni with a anorexic girl and all I did was walk all day and eat grapes every so often so it really is no wonder that now I’m 23 and a size 26!
I guess it comes to the point of why now, well I’ve had enough, today I’ve spent the whole day mopping (which I think is the appropriate word) because I feel so depressed about my weight I even just randomly cry, the worst thing is I still eat the junk food even though I feel this way. On the 12th of this month it was mine and M’s 4th year anniversary and instead of spending the whole night in bed *cough* I managed to have a full breakdown and now I wont even let him near me and its so depressing.
So um yeah it’s finally time to get on with my life and start living. I have round 9 stone to lose, so I hope you will join me for this journey and stay through the thick and thin, I’m certain it will be worth it for the laughs and the insanity.
Hugs For Now
Nessy xx

263 pounds (18 stone and 11 pounds) 5 6’ in height
2. If you were at an ideal weight now, what would that weight be?
It wouldn’t be a weight it would be when I’m happy with what I see in the mirror and where id feel comfortable, I’ve never been a small size so would like to size a UK 12/14!
3. At what weight would you like to be at four months from now?
That would take me to the end of Feb which is around 18 weeks so realistically id like to lose 2 or more pounds a week so around 36 pounds so id be 229pounds (16 stone 5 pounds)

So that I can feel myself again, so I don’t feel like everyone is watching me when I’m out and to feel HAPPY again and not depressed by my weight

8. What lifestyle changes do you think would help you lose weight?

9. Have you lost weight in the past? If so, what has worked in the past to help you lose weight?
I lost weight once and got to a lovely happy size 16 though it was by walking all day and eating just grapes, yep not the best diet guess why I put the weight back on and more! I’ve also tried WW millions of times and lost the first and second week then lost motivations, I even tried the Cambridge diet twice and both times it messed up my system and even had a trip to the A&E the second time!!!
10. Why do you believe that you did not lose weight or you gained the weight back?
I think the answer your looking for is there has always been something in the back of my head which has made me, a voice saying your fat, your ugly, your worth nothing and it makes me overreact and I just eat everything even if I don’t want to, I just cant stop.
