Hi everyone! My name is Emma, I'm 21 (22 in March!) and I grew up in South Tyneside, near Newcastle upon Tyne. I'm now a student at Swansea University, in the final year of my degree in Psychology, which means I spend 7 months of the year in Swansea, and the other five months split up over Christmas, Easter, and Summer at home with my parents. I've been prescribed Xenical in the past (2009) but for one reason or another, I didn't stick with it. I used to post on here using a different name but I couldn't remember it so I created a new account.
I've decided that I've had enough of being fat and miserable. I want to be able to go into any shop and pick clothes up off the rails and buy them without having to think if they'll fit me. I want to wear a bikini on holiday and not care about who looks at me. I want to be confident and feel attractive. Most importantly, I want to be healthy. I'm still young and I want a family one day.
I started taking the Xenical pills today. My starting weight is 245lbs, which is 17st 7lbs. I'm 5' 8" and generally wear a size 18-20 clothes. I'm hoping to get down to a more healthy weight of around 11 stone, or a dress size 12-14. I don't care how long it takes, the slower the better to make sure it stays off!
I really struggle with motivation, so I'm hoping posting here regularly and creating a support network for myself with all you lovely people will really help me stick with this.
2011 is the year for change. Bring it on!
