Having been ridiculously active at school, doing every kind of activity imaginable, over the last 8 years or so I have gradually put on weight. This rocketed when I started on Depo-Provera the contraceptive injection, in just 9 months I had put on a further 16lbs, it had to stop.
After stopping the injection, it took a long time but I lost an initial 7lbs, then my weight plateaued again.
Now I have had enough, I hate looking at pictures of my 17 year old self and wondering what happened.
I can't work out why having been a lover of sports I now lack the motivation to just go to the gym! I think once I start losing the weight my enthusiasm will return- this is the hope anyway!
