Introducing myself.

5 Replies

Hi, I’m Bethan. I’m 19, I am from South Wales. I joined this group seeing that it will help me with my weight as I like to comfort eat a lot. I have low self-esteem about myself along with low confidence. I grow up with people bullying me about my weight since the beginning and the end of school! Since then I’m never able to show my self confidently like all the other girls and boys out there.

Hello Bethan, good to have you here. You're taking a step into the future and though nastiness and bullying has a horrible and lasting effect, you've now moved out of that situation and can start rebuilding your confidence.

You'll get plenty of ideas and support on here about healthy living and developing a healthier lifestyle for the future. I wish you all the best in making the changes you want to make.

A final thought: those confident boys and girls you see may not be as confident as you think! :)
