Weight loss

From the age of 8 I was bullied about my size. Always being labelled "the fat kid" gave my confidence one hell of a bashing. This continued up until I was 18/19 years old, but still, now, my confidence is as low as ever.

I find it so hard to lose weight. On so many occasions I have tried, but I guess just not enough! I know that eating well and making your own meals is a good start, but with being unemployed, I can't afford to buy all the ingredients needed for every meal that I would need. Neither do I have the confidence to join a gym and have all the skinny, fit people around me mocking me :(

My point is, is it possible to lose weight, by just simply exercising daily, and cutting down on things like chocolate etc, and not eating salads and healthy meals 24/7?

I'm 21, and I must weigh around 15st, I NEED to lose weight, not for anyone else, but for myself.

Does anyone have any healthy meal ideas that are not too expensive and any workouts they would recommend?

Happy blogging!
