I've been overweight for a long time and have struggled to lose weight even thought I really want to. Anyway it seems I have figured out why.....I have been using my weight as a security blanket as I have had two traumatic experiences with men in the past and I think that being overweight means I am overlooked by men which keeps me 'safe'. If that makes sense. Well it has kept me safe while I got over the experiences and now I feel much stronger and although I am still not keen on a relationship, I know that if I got attention from men it wouldn't scare me like it previously has done.
So here goes to my weight loss and exercise challenge! Just off out for a 5 mile walk with the dog to begin my new routines. Any support over the coming weeks will be greatly appreciated to keep me focused on my goal!
