This is my story
I am 45 years old and weigh around 20 stone.... (02/09/06- That was when I joined a week ago, before I'd weighed myself..since found out that I'm actually 21st.12) At my heaviest, I was 23 stone 11lbs. I lost about 4 stone with WW, and have fluctuated between 19 and 22.5 stone for the last 7 years.
I started putting on weight at about 9 years old, after a traumatic experience. I was a very depressed child and food was my comfort, especially chocolate.Throughout my early to mid teens I was always two or three sizes above my peers and the 'accepted norm'.
I lost weight in my late teens and got down to 9.5 stone, which for me was a fantastic achievement. I was pregnant at 20 and ate for Britain! I had a 6lb daughter and still looked 9 months gone. I got back down to 9.5 again and maintained that for approximately 2 years. After then my weight just kept going up, there was a time when I was going up by about a stone a year.
Over the last 20 years, my weight has gone up and up and my spirit has gone down and down! I dont know if I'm fat because I'm depressed, or depressed 'cos I'm fat..I actually think Im in a vicious circle.
I hate the size I am, I want to do something about it, but I'm almost afraid of coming out from behind the security of my size...strange as it is, the bigger you are, the more anonymous you can be to the world, and I quite like that.
Right now, I'd be happy with losing 5 stone, I'd still be obese I know ,but it'd feel so much better than 20+ stone!
Today I discovered this website, which I know is going to help.
