23f. So I used to be very thin (a little underweight), but over the three years or so I gained almost 4 stone, mostly due to an awful job I had for a while. Some of it was needed, but I quickly got overweight and I was so unhappy for a long time. I guess I didn't really notice it until it was too late, but the last straw was getting deep stretch marks all over my tummy seemingly overnight and then I realised I needed to do something.
So at the beginning of September I joined Slimming World (UK) and it has really worked for me! It doesn't work for everyone, but for me I've lost weight at a healthy rate and for the first time in a long while I can finally look at myself in the mirror and in photos and not be filled with sadness. 20 pounds later I'm a healthier weight (9 stone 10, at 5"4) and I feel a lot better 😊 I want to get to 8 stone 7 eventually, but I'm happy to keep losing at my current weight as I feel really healthy at the moment!
Just wanted to share as I feel like I'm bothering my friends with constant updates recently, but feel like I've hit a milestone! ☺
