Help me get my body back

Donation protected
For most of my life I have been overweight. When I was 19 years old, I weighed over 32 stone. I stayed in my room all the time because I was afraid of what people would think of me. Deep down, I knew that I was dying.“I used to dream about going to Penneys and picking up some clothes for myself, like my brothers did, instead of having to buy XXXXXXL stuff on specialist websites online.
I had to do something so I went to a gym in Waterford called Bodyshapeperformance. It started slowly, and so did my eating habits. With my family's support I kept up the exercise and the new food regime and things began to work and I started to see a change.
I lost 7lbs in the first week and a stone after two weeks. Two years on, I'm now down to 13 stone 3lbs. My life has changed but I have a fairy large reminder of how I used to be - a lot of excess skin, which really affects my confidence. I'm not someone who ever asks or wants hand outs but the operation to lose the excess skin costs over €10,000 and is a bridge too far for me at the moment.
I want to be able to help and inspire others who are heavy and are embarrassed to leave their houses every day. I want to be able to tell people that it's possible to change. I would be so grateful to anyone who can help me finish my weightloss journey.
