Hi all!
Firstly, it's fantastic that I'm finally on here and have joined! - I was firstly aware of this website a few years ago through YouTube sensation Shaycarl (Shay Loss) however I was below 18 and I couldn't join the website!
So let me fill you in about me. My name's Kieran and I live in the United Kingdom in Wales! I'm currently 19, turning 20 on the 9th of April!
A little story about me, I've always been heavier than the usual person, in my highschool I was signifcantly bullied, verbally and physically and the only reason that happened to me is because I was overweight and was different to them, they didn't like the way I was and I presume needed something and in my case it was me to just annoy and bully as they had nothing better to do.
Although the bullying ended when I went to Sixth Form and things are better today, it still haunts me to this day. Last year (Summer 2014) I decided I wanted to change myself, for me.. no one else! - I was with a friend abroad and realised I could be so much healither and happier.. to this day I have lost nearly 5 stone and I couldn't of done that without guidance and support from my friends and my leader at Weight Watchers, which I love by the way and continue to love (I highly recommend it to anyone, it's not scary like you think) and yes! I can eat like normal, I don't have to restrict myself to foods! - It's a LIFESTYLE change not a DIET! :)
I joined DietBet because I wanted to see other people progress and make friends, get to know the community and share/express my thoughts, my development as I lose weight and to give support guidance to other people.
I have a motto that I use:
#motivation Keeps me moving
#inspiration Brings out the best in me
#determination Keeps me going.
#BringIt
Until the next blog post!
