ive always had fairly poor self image really, but over the past 6 months i’ve lost nearly a stone, when i first started i did it all the wrong way, eating barely anything and not exercising, but that was more due to a partying lifestyle and the fact that id split up from my long term boyfriend, and wanted to look hot when i was out on the pull. ive been at home over summer so havent been partying as much, and im with someone so havent been on the pull, but i’ve found that i still want to look good for him, i eat a lot more now than i did before, but its all healthy stuff and of course im drinking probably only once a week now, compared to at least three times a week when i was living away. i’ve also realised that i cant go through life thinking “if only i could lose another 5lb i’ll be happy” or whatever. im never going to be the cleverest or the prettiest girl in the world, but i AM clever, and i AM pretty and i CAN do things i put my mind to. i think i’ve still got a long way to go but i used to want to be skinny and 5’10 and a supermodel, and i know that at 128lbs and 5’5 that is never going to happen. but thats kind of ok. i like the fact that i have breasts and hips now, and my boyfriend likes it too!
