What I’ve learnt since losing weight is that people will always have something to say, about how you did it, why you did it, or what they think you should’ve done differently. But unless you’ve carried the same shame, exhaustion, and frustration I did, your opinion means nothing. I did what I had to do to save myself, and I’ll never apologize for that.

There was a time I barely recognised myself.

Becoming a mum was the greatest gift of my life… but somewhere in the sleepless nights, the survival mode, and the constant giving, I lost me. I was overweight, exhausted, and carrying more than just physical weight. I carried shame every time I avoided a photo. I carried the quiet heartbreak of not feeling comfortable in my own skin while holding the most precious thing in my arms.

I’d sit at soft play watching instead of joining in. I’d second guess every outfit. I’d dread mirrors. I’d convince myself I was just “the mum now” — that my needs came last, that this was just how it was.

And the hardest part? It wasn’t just about how I looked. It was how I felt about myself. My confidence shrank. My patience was thinner. I said no to plans. I hid. I told myself stories about what I wasn’t capable of.

But here’s what I’ve learned, you can love your children deeply and still need to find your way back to yourself.

Now it’s half term. And instead of sitting on the sidelines, I’m running around soft play. I’m climbing, chasing, laughing, being present. I’m not pulling at my clothes. I’m not calculating angles. I’m not second guessing whether I should join in.

I feel strong. I feel capable. I feel free.

This isn’t just a physical transformation. It’s mental. It’s emotional. It’s the relationship I rebuilt with myself. It’s showing my child what self-respect, resilience and growth look like.

The difference isn’t just what you can see.
It’s what I feel.

And that changes everything 🤍

7-year check-in.

7 years ago I stood at the top of these stairs and took my “before” photos.
Same staircase. Same angle. 7 years later, and I’m still maintaining that loss.

So many people told me I wouldn’t keep it off.
Yet here I am. Still standing strong.

Proof that it is possible…with the right tools, the right support, and commitment to yourself.

Summer trip number two booked, but I’m deffo talking the Mr into a third 💪🏼😅
I cannot wait to be back into warm weather and running round after Louie on a sandy beach, can you believe that in 18 weeks we’ll be in June….
➡️ that means if you lost 1 pound per week you’d be down a stone and a half for that family holiday, 2 pounds you’ve lost 3 stone forever… sounds good doesn’t it!
➡️ My diaries open, get booked in with me, get that holiday booked and get grafting for summer 2026 🌸
P.S ya girl on the left would cry every single holiday, cry on the lead up trying on clothes, cry even more looking back at photos! It was s**t, I felt guilty almost and ungrateful, but I couldn’t shake it, and it was only me who could fix it! So I’ve been there, done that, felt all those feelings just like you, so do it now and don’t waste another summer!

Imagine if 7 years ago I quit on myself.
If I gave in to all my usual excuses.
If I told myself “it doesn’t matter” or “I’ll start again another time.”

I think about that a lot.

Because 7 years later, I’m still here.
7 years maintaining my weight.
7 years of choosing myself, not perfectly, but consistently.

It wasn’t about motivation. It was about showing up on the hard days.
The tired days.
The emotional days.
The I definitely need chocolate today days 🍫

There were times I wanted to give up. Times I thought progress should be faster. Times I questioned if it was even worth it. But instead of quitting, I kept going, even when “going” just meant doing the bare minimum and not walking away from myself.

And honestly? That decision changed everything.

Not just my body, but my mindset. My confidence. My relationship with food. My trust in myself. The best thing I ever did was keep going when it would’ve been easier to stop.

So if you’re in a season where it feels slow, messy, or uncomfortable, this is your reminder: don’t quit on yourself. The future version of you is quietly rooting for you, grateful you didn’t give up.

Progress isn’t loud.
Consistency isn’t flashy.
But it lasts.

Living for you. Getting healthy for you. So content in your own skin that no one else’s opinion matters ✨

Does your weight impact your clothing choices?
I’d run a mile from jersey fabric these days, and don’t even get me started on a line skater dresses with tights. It was my uniform.

5 things I’d do if I had to lose 6 stone again — and keep it off (7 years strong):

• Block out the noise
• Know your cycle (this changes everything)
• Go ghost - a short while saying no.
• Set realistic, boring-but-effective goals
• Accountability over motivation, every time

Consistency > perfection. Always.

I don’t talk about this often, but being overweight didn’t just affect my body, it affected my mind.
I avoided photos. I hid behind clothes. I convinced myself I wasn’t confident, worthy, or “enough” yet.
The loudest criticism wasn’t from others… it was in my own head.

This journey was never just about weight loss.
It was about rebuilding self-belief, quieting the negative voice, and learning that I deserved to take up space at every stage.

If you’re in the “before” season right now, please know this:
You are not lazy. You are not weak. And you are not defined by a number on a scale.
Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health 🤍

Progress isn’t just what you see, it’s what you feel.
