My weight loss journey so far.

So it was the beginning of the year I thought to myself enough was enough, I need to do something about  my weight. I've been telling myself for years and years I need to do this but I always last a week and go back to my old ways. I was normally alright though, even though I ate so badly I never ever gained weight I always stayed the same. The stress of college this year was the main culprit for my weight gain this year and I was eating so much more rubbish than main meals. I would never ever have breakfast, lunch would be some deep fried or greasy and before dinner I used to binge to the point where I wasn't even hungry when dinner time came it was that bad.

In June 2015 I got to my highest weight which was 14 stone 7lbs, enough was enough and I had to do something about it. I randomly clicked on some tags on my personal Instagram page one day and I came across a girls page dedicated to her weight loss journey, she used calorie counting and myfitnesspal to link what she'd been eating and taking photos of her daily food intake and exercise. I found this really interesting and a fabulous idea to help with motivation. You're following everyone else on the same journey and this was what I was missing. Dieting for me wouldn't last too long because I didn't have the support, didn't receive motivation from others and would tend to give up very easily. 4 months on I've met so many lovely people on there, gained new friends and we're all there for each other in our journeys together. In those 4 months I've managed to lose 23lbs despite it's ups and downs the girls on instagram have been there for me and helped me out. 

I have stopped and restarted over the past month or so due to holidays, getting a new job and trying to get into the new routine. There has been so many changes lately and I've been trying to get my head round everything that's been going on. I've decided to make this blog dedicated to my weightloss journey for motivation for not just myself but for others. I intend to write about my journey, write up new recipe ideas and try out some new home workouts.
