My weight

[Sianxfx]

Hi I’m sian I’m 26 I have never been confident in my body recently I weighed myself to find I’m 18 stone I was shocked and disgusted. I won’t let my partner come near me because I feel ashamed that I’m this weight , I feel awkward when going out with friends I’m hoping I can change my life style and weight to be happy aswell as healthier

Dear Sian,

Many of us on here found we were grossly overweight having not weighed ourselves for years and that includes me. As long as we recognise the need to lose weight and the need to do something about it all will be well as if you put into action a weight loss plan you will soon be on the road to reaching a healthy weight.

There is all the information you need to lose weight on here and also plenty of encouragement from others who are facing the same problem and doing something about it.

So get started and stay focused and you will soon reap the rewards.

Best wishes
