Every journey starts with the first step... right?
So, I've never done Blogging before in my life. I have no idea what I'm even doing, but I am going to try.
I am 27 years old, I live in Versailles, France with my boyfriend and my cat. I have a job as an English teacher and, although I can't say that I love my job, I don't hate it and I am happy enough :)
The one thing that I truly hate in my life, that I guess most people with a blog on extrapounds.com really hate, is how much I weigh.
I am 5'4" (164cm) and I weigh in at 16st 8lbs (105.5kg). This is not the heaviest I have been, but it's close. I have yo-yo'd for years, fad diet after fad-flipping-diet. I seem to remember a time in high school when I was a size 14, which, of course, I thought was enormous. What I wouldn't give to go back and tell myself that size 14 is amazing!
So, the other day, I took drastic action. I bought myself a pair of size 14 Jane Norman jeans and a size 14 top on eBay. I am going to pin them to the wall and by Christmas, I will be wearing them!
