So today i decide after several months to finally weigh myself......

Imagine my shock when it reads 11st 3.5 lbs and 40% body fat!!! So today i have realised it is time to change. I am 5ft 3 and a size 14. I have a BMI of 27. If i don't do something now soon it will be too late and i will carry on putting on weight. I need to take control!

My ideal weight would be 8st 7lbs and a size 8 to 10 with a healthy BMI of 21. I know i can do it, i just need to focus and i'm hoping this blog will let me do this. I am going to do a weekly weigh in and post results - even if they're not what i hope them to be!!:D

I have come to realise that i am an emotional eater - i eat cakes and biscuits when stressed and upset. Also when i have unwanted male attention i tend to binge- maybe trying to make myself more unattractive to get rid of it, i don't know? But i know now not to be scared of attention, and that it's my life and i shouldn't let other people affect what i want to do!
