To those of you who said I wouldn't make it and I couldn't do it. I can prove you all wrong.
I used to write stories when I was younger and get told that I was wrong or my narrative was confused, but how is that even possible when a story is your own interpretation of events; meaning it's your own way of telling it.
I will say it "my work is amazing, I love it. If I hated it I wouldn't want to write and no-one can bring me down." The only thing I can really fall back on are the scripts, stories and poems I have written, they enable me to emerse my experiences of society, hate, lust, anger and love into black and white for others to enjoy. But if you don't like my work, as I am sure some people won't, then it's simple... don't read it.
Why am I telling you this? Mainly, to encourage people reading not to give up on what you love, even if those around you despise it and moan about it. People who make you feel petty and worthless are not worth the time and often make rather fascinating 'beat-up' characters or villains in novels and plays. Whatever you believe in doing, don't let others deter you and if they do, fight your case!
Another situation I have faced is ultimately losing weight. It didn't take much for me to see how people were looking at me when I was 'large' than for me to feel it myself. I hated it. Since my birthday it has taken me six months to lose a healthy two stone and I am verging on losing one more stone to get to my ideal weight. For those of you who may read and worry about losing weight without the 'crash course diets' listen up. It was simple; I cut down on my calorie count at first, so instead of eating 125 calorie crisps I ate 95 and I looked up the amounts you were allowed to eat each day. I mainly cut chocolate out, with the exception of 'TOM'. I walked everyday, to and from college or the bus stop, down to Tesco's and around. As I began to lose the weight I gradually introduced Acai juice mixed with tropicana into my morning breakfast routine, it certainly helped that I bought three bottles following the correct dosage. During that time I also made it clear to myself that I would have my five a day at least by lunch time so I was able to have a decent meal in the evening.
Right now, two stone lighter, I feel more active and I generally feel repulsed by crisps and chocolate. I do make space for a pizza from time to time but ONLY as a treat. I have invested in quorn foods as well and have started on smaller portions and more veg! I also researched how to get rid of a double chin! The bit that kept me inspired was that standing on the scales made me more and more happier in my health. Put it this way July 2011-SIZE 16!!!! February 2012-SIZE 12!!! That's how effective it was! There are a few downsides like the excess skin but the feeling of weight loss is the best thing.
I AM PROUD OF MYSELF.
you really don't need to lose weight though, i have never seen you as big? i don't even think you are a size 12? honestly! xx
