Hi everyone, I'm Esther. I'm 16 and currently studying at College. As the Title probably suggests, I'm a bit self concious about my own body, and wanted to be able to share my experience with you people. I've never really publicised my body, as I get very uncomfortable with any focus on it at all. I've battled with my weight since I was young and at one point found the courage to lose a stone in weight. Now that might not sound much, but I wanted to be thinner, and right then, when I'd found out how much I'd lost, was one of the best feelings ever! Since then, the weight has slowly crept back on, and it kills me each time I have to wear a baggy top to hide my stomach. Doubtless many of you people may feel the same.
I want to do it again and as I write this, I feel rather uncomfortable in my own skin. But it's time to make a change. I currently weight 165lbs and that makes me want to cry. So for an emotional teenager who's just finished her exams for this year today (Yay!!) I want this to be different and hopefully I can drop 2 dress sizes and will post several times a week to update you on progress.
My weight to me is a very sensitive part of my life and growing up with people calling me fat and ugly didn't exactly help. I've never really been popular, but have found some incredible friends on the way, and I know they'd always support me. I'm not overly active and probably do about an hour and a half light exercise a week. Who knows, I might even inspire one of you lovely people to join me. I'll update measurements, and try to stop obsessing over the scales. I'll put tips and tricks here too, as well as what I eat and the exercise I do during the day. With any luck, I'll see results soon, and finally be happy looking in the mirror.
So here goes, the journey that should change the way I look at food, the way I exercise and hopefully, the way I look at myself. Welcome to my very own... Crusade to My Dreams!!
