This is the start

Hi my name is Bethany, Beth to my friends, and I have decided to create this blog in order to document my life and weight loss (hopefully).

I am 16 years old, but don't let that put you off reading I'm quite mature and I've been through a lot, and I live in Scotland.

I have to admit I've never really read anyone else's blog purely because I've not had the desire or time. So why then if I read no one else's would I make my own ?

Well that's simple I don't have anyone at this point in my life that I feel like I can talk to about certain things or the way I'm truly feeing. My family has been through a lot and sometimes I feel like it's necessary for me to smile and say everything's okay just for them so it's one less thing they have to deal with.

However that being said I'm sick of them commenting on my weight. I am 5'4 and I weigh 76kg. I hate the way I look and they don't help that. Aren't families supposed to be supportive and tell you your beautiful ? Mine don't.  Earlier I walked into the living room to show everyone a new top that I bought and was met with a barrage of comments telling me it was "too small" and "not a good look" for me and I don't think they understand how it makes me feel. Upset. Disgusting. Horrible.  I liked the top it was one of my favourite purchases over the last couple of months but after hearing their comments it made me feel so low and alone.

I hope that if anyone is in a similar situation then this blog might be a place for you to find comfort in knowing your not alone.

Remember your beautiful,

Beth x
