My mother was going through old photos a couple of weeks ago and found one of me at my 21st (2 years ago) she called me up and told me that it was such a lovely photo "you were so skinny" - she didn't mean anything by it - but it still stung. My boyfriend and I had both put on weight since we were always going and getting takeaway and junk food - but I didn't realise how much until I stood on the scales - no more - it all changes now - I want to be comfortable in front of people without having to be ashamed of my thighs and stomach!! Charge on!! Hoorah!!
