Such an inspirational story, thank you! I'm also young and have been struggling with my weight since I was a child. You're right, seeing the number on the scales go down is far more satisfying than giving in to temptation.
Also, you look stunning!!
:wow: what a fab achievement, congrats! I can identify with being an only child and I think Mum just divided the food equally onto 3 plates. Also I became addicted to cheese when I was about 4 and that piled weight on. Plus dad used to stop at a shop on his way home from work and came home with enough sweets for about four kids lol. off for a nosy at your diary!
ETA: I reckon this thread should be stickied...who's with me?
Wow happyhealthy you are amazing. For one so young you are bright and wise beyond your years. You truely are inspirational.
Like you I was big when I was young and I wished that I had the courage and determination that you had to reach my goals. Anyway I may be a late starter but I know I will succeed and keep it off this time.
Happyhealthy - I'd just like to say that I'm God damn proud of you too! You are stunning and have emerged a happier soul, well done for choosing life - you are a great inspiration to me as I begin my weight loss journey.
