So my weightloss journey began back in 2009 I’d just had my daughter I was 10 months away from getting married and I was at my lowest and my most unhealthy physically and mentally.

Growing up I’d always battled with loving myself no matter how skinny I got there was always someone to tell me I wasn’t thinking enough…(as if social media, magazines and your own thoughts don’t already tell you that) . I had family, partners telling me I needed to lose weight. Eventually during my teens I would exercise excessively it still wasn’t coming off so I resorted to making myself sick It went on about a year eventually my family noticed when I reached about 46kgs. They got me the help I needed and things eventually got back on track.

I moved in with my daughters father in 2007 and as you do, you get comfortable between 07 and 09 I jumped up in weight a whooping 40 kgs that’s in just 2 years! Wich brings me back to 09 id just had my daughter and was 10months out from my wedding and I felt pretty low the idea of choosing a wedding dress semt pretty grim I started training but unfortunately I hadn’t lost much by my wedding as I was still in bad eating habbits so 10 months later I was walking down the isle at my biggest and my lowest mentally.

A month or so later I was veiwing my wedding pictures looking for one to put up. And all I could do was cry this was supposed to be the happiest day of my life yet I couldn’t find 1 picture to put on my wall that was the day something SNAPPED.. I’d hit my rock bottom I had run out of excuses I knew it was on me to make a change!!

So I did.. it didn’t happen over night it was small changes day in day out. Repeated failure day in day out year after year.. but I keep going then came the victories small victories a of here a kg there once I tasted success I became more and more determined to hit my goal it took me 4 long years to lose my weight and a lot longer to love myself but I achieved both.

How did I do it persistence, dedication and a lot of sweat and tears it takes time and failure to succeed. But most of all it takes ACTION!!
