I am a 17 year old girl, I am 5ft 7 and I weigh a huge 266 lbs. I would like to lose 126 lbs to be healthy and feel more attractive to myself as I am not really bothered about what others think of me.
I have always been very active and played many sports but I also have always been a love of junk food. I have always been quite big but I started to gain weight when my parents separated when I was 15, then at 16 I went to the doctors due to feeling low, having trouble sleeping and severe migraines.
There I was told after a test that I was suffering from depression and anxiety. They offered medication but I turned it down because I’d heard they become highly addictive. The only comfort I could find was eating so I continued and got larger and larger and the bigger I was getting the worse I was feeling.
I had been in a relationship with a since I was 15 but I ended the relationship because I felt so low that I was planning on overdosing.
Since then I have been gaining more and more weight.
I have previously tried many diet plans such as low calorie diets, the Atkins diet ect but nothing seemed to work.
I am not a couch potato, I clean around the house due to unemployment thanks to severe migraines that left me losing consciousness at inconvenient times.
I would love to lose this weight so maybe I can find someone special and feel good about myself for once, or maybe rekindle the flame between my ex and I. Also I need to be healthier and more sociable.
