Hia everybody i'm Maria and I'm so glad I've found this forum coz I've got a sneaky suspicion it's gonna be my saving grace... I'm aware that I'm not overweight as such (5"4 and 8 stone- ish) but in recent years I've had an unhealthy obsession with trying to get stick thin which inevitably involved starvation diets and lots of so called " thinspiration". I was very depressed and mentally strained but my mates helped my alot.


This holiday I feel like i've made up for the past because I've been to countless 18th birthday parties, an engagement party, a results day party and a group of my friends and me did our own version of " come dine with me" !

Now I'm in dire need of a detox, and I want to do some excercise that won't cost a fortune so hopefully people will have ideas? I just want to get into a regular pattern again, feel a bit more healthy and a bit more toned

Thanks for reading this and I'm looking forward to having a chat with some people in a similair situation to myself... I'm lucky that I had people around me who snapped me out of my bad habits before I developed a full blown eating disorder- I'm truly grateful for that.


Good luck to everyone and cheers for reading this
