My Journey... So far

Hey Everyone,

My Name is Bianca-Trish, i am 27 years old and live in west yorkshire with my fiance and 2 children. The reason i am here is to do a documentation of my weight loss.

Ever since I was a little girl around the age of 9 I have suffered from Bulimia Nervosa the eating disorder. I have been overweight all my life and went through extreme bullying right from nursery school through to high school, college and into the work place. To the point I tried to end my life 6 times in my teens, I found it extremely hard dealing with school, and social environments for over 17 years.

I was classed as clinically obese at only 11 and told I would not be able to have children easily because of Pcos when I was just 16. The only thing that has ever made me feel good about my self has been my music. I have loved singing, writing songs and poetry for as long as I can remember and doing this gave me a sense of security as you cant see music… no one can
ridicule you if they cant see you! That’s what I thought anyway.

When I was 18 I moved 150 miles away to South Devon with no friends or family I felt scared, alone, isolated and very depressed. I worked very part time at a local CO-OP 5 minute walk away, yet physically I could not walk up and down stairs let alone down the hill to the supermarket where I would pack shelves. So I would take a taxi twice a day spending nearly as
much as I earned.

I was at the biggest I have ever been weighing 29stone and wore a size 38 in dress, I had many health issues including osteoarthritis, IBS, PCOS, Manic depression, extreme menstrual cramps. One of the days after writing a new song I decided to take the plunge and send a demo tape off to some producers in the area. The following day to my surprise I had a phone call from an excited producer who was based over an hour away. He asked me to go as soon I could down to the studio to record as he said I had a lot of potential. So I took the day off work, travelled to his studio and was thinking that I could FINALLY be getting my break. My life may finally have meaning.

I walked up the path and knocked on the door shaking, I was soo anxious and excited at the same time. When he opened the door and realised who I was he looked me up and down then laughed in my face as he said “I wont sign you, your TOO FAT!” & slammed the door. I was heart broken I didn’t know what to do I froze I felt like my world was crumbling down around me and I could even run round to my mums house,.

I went back to my apartment with the intention to finish things once and for all. I sat looking at photographs and starting thinking about my mum and the amazing things she had achieved with Herbalife. My phone rang and it was my mum I started to cry and begged for her help. She sent some products and I started them straight away.

I felt a difference in my energy after only 2-3 days I even walked to work. It felt amazing. I lost an incredible 150lbs and many
dress sizes.

Today after taking a 5 year break to have my TWO CHILDREN after being told I would be able to naturally and getting engaged to my fiancé Mark. I have been back on the products since December 2007 and I have lost 80lbs…

so in total 230lbs and still counting and that is why i am here.

120lbs to go... Day 2 Day wish me luck... see ya tomorrow xxxx
