When I was a teenager, I weighed 56 kilograms, right until my 20s, and I thought I was fat !
I am five foot eight !
I had huge body issues, and family members would say things like " you look a lot thinner in clothes " or " big bum " and even though I was never big, I still remember those comments as clear as a bell.
I am now in my mid 30s and weight 84 kilograms, and yes, I am a lot bigger, and yes I still have body issues. I refuse to have my picture taken ( I used to model !!! ), I grab large chunks of skin and tell myself how I hate it, which I do.
But I don't hate me ! I think I am one of the best things I've got...but I do know something has to give.
This is why I have begun a new blog...I am going to be completely open, write what comes to me, from the past and present and open my heart to the healthy person I know is in there...
Please watch this space, I was a 10 once, I am now a chunky 16, I will be a 12 !

Snap.
We have all been there, and some of us are still there!
Good Heavens, Sev!... 5 feet 8 and 56 kilos and people made comments like that? Yegods.. you were a stick. How rude of them! And grossly unfair.
At almost 5 feet 3, I weighed in at 56-58 kilos until I had my 1st baby, and thought I was a heiffer. I look back at pictores of me when I had stripped my weight down to 52 kilos, and I looked all bones.
This week, I started a weight reduction and control program as my weight has escalated out of control over the last year, and my body is ruing this. It's not easy; I don't mind the food control, but I HATE the exercise part.
Good luck, Sev. I'm sure you can do it!
Yep..this is the first year that after 14 weeks of constant work I have actually put on weight..
I also hate exercise...I used to love walking, but I did so much of it to lose weight that now it is a chore.
Unfortunately as one gets older there is also the problem of wrinkles, unruley hair and cottage cheese thighs....how do I get rid of those?
Good luck Sev...keep us informed of your progress..You are young and have the beauty of youth still on your side. Be radiant from the inside even through this journey..
ha ha, yes, the "I thought I was fat!" syndrome when you look back at photos of your young self.... breaks your heart doesn't it? I think back to all the floppy sacks I used to wear to disguise my body, now I wish I could go back and flaunt it instead! Of course we can't go back, so I've decided to just make the most of what I have now -- you won't find a shapeless sack in my wardrobe now!
Good luck on your journey
