My name is June and I am 58 years old. I live in the UK on the south coast in the town of Hastings. I have two daughters , both now living away from home.I work full time so have a pretty busy life.However,I am really fed up that over the past months I have put on so much weight. This is partly due to giving up smoking - getting on for 3 years ago. Also now that I am in the house on my own more I tend to eat more - the result of being a bit bored and lonely I suppose. I know that I need to get out more,take up new hobbies etc etc etc.But feeling like a beached whale does not inspire me to go out at all.I feel as if I look awful in anything I wear. I do not want to spend the next 25ish years of my life feeling like this,as if everything is over and just put up with my life as it is. I would like this part of my life to be the most exciting,so I know I have to do something about it. It is totally up to me.
