This is me when I first started worrying about my weight and the way that I looked. I am the one on the right, 15 years old and about 150lbs.
I dont have many pictures of then because Facebook wasnt popular at the time.. The above picture is me at 17, about 156lbs. I thought I looked really fat there at the time but I look back now and think I looked great.
Here I weigh about 145lbs (on the left), this is around the period i found out my boyfriend had cheated on me and began to lose weight again THE WRONG WAY.
I am the second from the right in this photo, and I remember at this time I was 140lbs. My arms looked skinny! My face now is a lot fuller than it was in these pictures!
This is me on the same night as above.
I am the one taking the photo in this picture, with my best friend who is naturally very skinny :P
I wore this outfit for a wedding when I was 17 in the summer. I didnt eat for a week leading up to the event just so I could fit into my dress. 140lbs here.
This was my 18th Birthday party in November, with my older sister. Again, I starved myself for a month just so I could fit into my birthday dress (it cost £130). Here I was 136lbs.
As I dyed my hair blonder and blonder I started getting more attention from boys, and I put it down to my weight, so I carried on losing it. Second from the left in this picture, here about 132lbs, my lowest weight. This was December 2009.
I am on the far right in this picture (June 2010). I couldnt keep up with my diet and so put all the weight back on in a matter of months. I was about 156lbs here.
About 150lbs here in October 2010 when I went to India for two weeks. I lost about half a stone on this trip but I ate normally.
Back up to 156lbs again, I think this was about February 2011.
At the time this picture was taken I worked at both Starbucks and the bar where this photo was snapped. I did about 60 hours a week and the different shifts meant a lack of sleep, a lack of routine in eating and therefore weight gain. I didnt really care about my weight at this point. About 158lbs.
This is me at the Reading festival, August 2011, again about 158lbs. I always wore baggy clothes by this point because I had a bit of a belly.
My first week at university, about 156lbs. I had tried to lose weight before starting at the beginning of October 2011 but my old diet habits were the wrong way to go about things, and I couldn’t control my hunger cravings.
This is me early December 2011, my highest weight 162lbs, which I maintained over the holidays.
To be continued….
