The Beginning

My name is Emer. I'm a sixteen year old girl from Ireland and the weighing scale is my enemy.

90% of teenagers are unhappy with their body image. I want to be one of those ten percent who are happy with theirs, but I know it's not going to be an easy journey. This is where this blog comes in.

The last time I weighed myself, I was nearly 152 pounds. I'm 5ft 7, so I just about fit in the scale of a healthy weight which for someone my height is in between 127 pounds to 159 pounds. But I am not happy with my body. My poor tummy sticks out a bit too much and I want to change that.

I exercise around twice a week currently with the sports I play, which I know isn't enough and I eat way too much carbs, so I know my problem. I just need to fix them. But you see, it's not that easy. I've tried so many times to lose weight but after about two weeks, I crash and go back to my old habits. The point of this blog is motivate me, and hopefully others who read this.

With this blog I hope to post food diaries and work out routines and probably a rant every now and again. I plan to start my journey on the 2nd of May and this time, there's no going back.

So join me, on my climb to confidence.
