Hello there. Let's be honest here, I never expect anyone to really read this and its mainly for my own motivation in my journey and lifestyle change but I may as well introduce myself, just incase someone does stumble upon this.
I'm Shannon, I'm 20 years old and from Northern Ireland. I have struggle with my weight since I was 11 or around about then when my parents split up. This I would say was the main factor in me becoming an emotional eater, which has developed into full blown overeating and laziness at this point in my. When I was 16 I managed to get myself down to just under 10 stone(note I will be using stones most likely to update on my weight) which is the smallest I remember being. I kept this up until I was nearly 18 when I began drinking. That sounds a bit like I have a drinking problem or something but I can assure you I don't. The norm here is to go out and drink nearly every weekend, this combined with my new job at a fast food restaurant and getting a boyfriend which made me fall into a comfortable place where I was happy with myself and also gaining a lot of weight at a very fast pace. Now I haven't been in that relationship for nearly a year but the combination of my job and now being at uni where drinking is between 2-3 times a week my weight is still as high as ever.
I currently weigh just slightly under 13 stone which is embarrassing even just to write down, I literally made a face typing it(also note I will likely say literally often!). I am 5 foot 3 and according to my BMI which I first checked today for the first time since I was about 17, I am extremely overweight, and while I know BMI isn't quite a clear indicator of health I'm sure this is right.
So that's me so far. I'm genuinely very unhappy with myself and I've never been so motivated to change!
I'm going to make a week one goals after this post straight away, mainly because I just want to keep everything separated.
