Hello there!
I am new to this whole blogging malarkey (new to the computer scene in general to be honest) so please bare with me. I am sitting here arguing with my daughter about how to do this.(She thinks she knows everything, kids eh?) She did, however, introuduce me to this blogging thing because the support she receives on her own blog is amazing and right now I need that! (She's moving out this week... booooo!)
Here's my story so far....
I am a 48 year old woman trying to lose weight and finding it very hard to do and bring a family up at the same time. When I was really young I was actually underweight and I guess I liked it, then when i was 10 and a half years old I lost my dad and things started to change, My mam had to go to work full time and that meant I was left on my own quite a lot apart from when my brother was there but we were just too different and never really connected. That's how it has been ever since. The combination of losing my dad and my mam working all the time and the shitty relationship with my brother, I felt alone, food became my friend. Now at 48 I've gained alot of weight and am learning a lot, realising it is NOT TOO LATE TOO LOSE WEIGHT.
But i am trying my hardest to plod on, and if it was not for my daughter Simone giving me all her support and pushing me on I would have given up. What am i going to do now Simone is back off to Manchester this week??? OH MY GOD! Sorry went off the road a little there.
I was talking about gaining weight in my teen years, My mam tried hardest to keep me on the straight and narrow but I just could not resist going to the FISH SHOP on the sly as I thought she wouldn't find out. I would go home and she would say where have you been and i would say around my friends then she would say 'i know you were at the FISH SHOP and I said what do you mean, someone told me you were at the FISH SHOP' I was caught out yet again! When I look at myself now I am reminded of those times. I didn't like myself then but I am makin an effort to do something about it. I have never liked anything about my self but things are going to change for the better.
Starting with losing weight and writing this blog.
