Hey people. I searched in Google 'how long will it take to lose 7 stone' - perhaps one of the worst ways to look at things but i gladly stumbled across this forum in my search (every cloud has a silver lining - or some other, more fitting phrase
haha) .. Well, a little about me...
(i dont want to disclose too much information about myself, i wish to remain unknown in a way but would still love the benefit of getting the support from you nice people
)
My names Ricky, im from Yorkshire, i love hanging around with mates, drinking (socially of course), having a good time at college and i play quite a bit of Xbox, im also mental about music, heavy metal, rock, rnb, dance, hip hop, rap, grime - basically anything
, i have been battling with my weight for too many years to count, and have been on countless 'attempted' diets to try and sort it out... im 16 years of age (17 in June) and i want to lose weight for the sole reason of wanting to get a girlfriend, lose my virginity to somebody i am deeply in love with (at an average age of 17/18/19) and truly care about, without been ashamed of my body... i weigh in at around 19 stone (though many true friends, and often strangers say i dont look it) and would ideally like to lose a stone before Christmas, then move on to becoming 14 stone then watching my weight over 2010, taking each day as it comes... I also wish to lose weight to be able to get a car i am comfortable in and be able to be comfortable in myself and earn respect from people that often take advantage due to my weight... so heres the basis of my story...
I have been overwight all of my life, from an early age i got what i wanted and wouldnt stop moaning until i did - not a day goes by that i dont wish that there was a time machine and i could right all of my wrongs and be a better person... i had some early childhood memories thrown back in my face countless times and throughout my early years right up until 'teen-hood' i continued to feel down everyday... i wasnt as bad as i am now (i gained a stone every year (11 years old, 11 stone) etc. etc.
When teen years hit i was confident in myself but when i was sad one day i would binge eat to the point of feeling sick every day, on the usual foods such as crisps, chocolate, sandwiched and so on, which made situations worse, bullying occured (i missed the last half of year 11 due to it) and this made my situation worsen further... and it spiralled out of control.. i am now in college and want to gain control of myself and become happy, as i know i can be... i have been on many diets before whereby i either ate healthy and didnt excercise, or excercised and ate unhealthily... which doesnt really mix well and achieve best of results - i want to put them into action together...
a few weeks ago i felt good about myself having found that i had lost half a stone in just under 2 weeks, going jogging, eating reasonably well (but not as good as i can) and this spurred me on until i started getting daily chip butties from the local chippy near college :/ - not a good move haha...
i wont go into details as it would bore you but putting a horrific past, bullying and countless family issues together has evolved into a terrible weight issue that ive failed to control .. until now
(sorry for the horrible layout ive rushed through this as im eager to go out for my daily jog lol
) nice to have found the site and lets hope ive got a success story to share i nthe few months to come
