I've always been an overweight child and now an adult. I recently turned 21 and it wasn't until I looked at the pictures I realised how big I had gotten (I guess avoiding the mirror for a while helped delay it). I've been on many diets, some that worked well and others not so much. I found that when I did lose weight and get to a size were I felt comfortable and confident, I would somehow sabotage myself and start emotionally eating again and the weight would pack back on again with a little bit extra. I'm a big emotional eater, which I guess I learnt from my mother. Growing up I saw it all the time and started doing it myself. Last year I was diagnosed with PCOS in which if you are overweight can make it very difficult for you to have kids. Now all I would really like to do is to lose the weight, be able to have some confidence and be healthy and fit.

I do find it difficult finding time for exercise and making the healthy meals. See I work full time (which I do alot of overtime) and study uni part time which I spend my spare time doing straight after work. My boyfriend is very supportive of me losing weight, has even tried doing it with me, only thing is he stick to it and now looks great while I've fallen off the wagon.

I know I need to do this for myself and I want to --- I think it's just motivation and a good diet I can stick to that I need.
