Weight

Lately on my Facebook, twitter, Instagram, everywhere really, I've seen dozens of people showing how much weight they've lost.. Well I'm the other way.. I have put on weight. But in a good way! I just want to point out that I didn't always look the way I do in the first photo. I used to be a healthy normal teenager until about age 15 when things went down hill. I used to be obsessed with programmes like Americas next top model and I aspired to be like the girls on that show but maybe took it too far.. I mean I've always been slight but I just took things to the extreme. The first photo was took before my year 11 prom, aged 16, but I had the frame of a child! It started to affect my school work and finally in the second year of a levels I had a realisation (with help from others.. Aka friends, family, teachers).. I suddenly saw how if I didn't pull my act together my future would suffer.. As I started to get better, I came into myself more, my grades improved and I had an unforgettable year 13! The second photo is me in June this year. I think I know look healthy and happy! I just wanted to post this as I know first hand how obsessive weight loss can be and how it easy to go too far!
