I have always been morbidly obese. I weigh a lot, always have, and my mum would say I always would. Most of my family are chubby but none would be classified as badly as me. I met my boyfriend fifteen months ago over the Xbox and we met up in real life having found out we lived so close. He was understanding of my weight. I weighed a hefty 24 stone whereas he only weighed 10 stone. I avoided pictures of us together. His my boyfriend I should want to have pictures taken with him. I've ruined the first year of our relationship as we cannot look back on any of the memories we have had in photos only in little keep sakes such as event tickets etc. After finding out I couldn't go to Alton Towers with him because of my weight and my sister having a baby it started to all piece together. In order for me to enjoy my life with my boyfriend and the rest of my family, in order for me to not have my weight be an issue when I want to have children, in order for me to wear a wedding dress whenever my boyfriend decides to pop the question that doesn't make me look like a heffalump, everything boiled down to me losing weight. I joined Slimming World. And I won't ever regret it. I've lost just over 4 and a half stone and I don't intend to stop until I can say I'm comfortable being the size I am, and I am comfortable in knowing that I will be able to do those things and be happy looking how I look.
