First of all, well done for losing a stone!! That is an awesome achievement, and yes it's taken you a bit longer but it will stay off so much more easily as well.
Also I just want to say my mum is always the first person I go to so don't feel bad about that!
Anything else I say will just be a repeat of what everyone else has said, but just a reminder that if you ever need a boost/support we're all here!
