Debated wearing this outfit all of last week and then realised this time last year I wouldn't have fitted into it and whilst I was out, 3 different women came up and complimented me- which is always lovely!

So if you're currently on a weightloss journey and feeling a bit meh- please don't give up! It's just a wee bump in the road. Be proud of yourself for how far you've come and what you've already achieved!!

You got this!!

I got this today.....at last!!!

Abd when I say at last, I mean it has taking me months. But despite that it's probably the award m most proud of because this year has been full of challenges. I've had the most social year ever, every other week I has something on that made food optimising challenging...but not impossible! Sometimes I beat the challenge and lost weight but other weeks I sit the challenge and gained weight. But throughout it all I never gave up, not once because this time around is my time!!

I'm sharing this because know there many of you out there struggling, have tried before and for whatever reason gave up...and I want to say that's OK because I've tried and given up many times before now too. But if you'd like to give it another try then I'm here to let you know...I got you! I believe in you and I'm here to support you...every step of the way

14 months and almost 3.5 stone lighter!!

I don't usually posy about myself on this page but I thought it was important to show that weightloss really is a journey and not a perfectly straightforward one at that.

14 months ago I was the heaviest I'd ever been- a combination of covid, having a baby and just truly losing myself over that previous 5 years had really taken ita toll.on me mentally physically and emotionally.

But in May 2025 I finally started putting myself first. It hasn't been one of those super fast weightlosses and I still have a few more stone to lose but I've chosen progress over perfection. I'm changing bad habits I've had for over 20 years one day at a time and that's what I love about food optimising- it's not a diet and I've tailored the plan to who I am and the life I have now...not the girl I was over 20 years ago!

I bought this dress in 2 sizes and being able to wear the smaller size yesterday was one of the best non scale victories I've had this year! There is still over 5 months of 2026 and I'm determined to hit my 5 stone goal by Christmas- could I achieve more? Probably but I don't need to put amy additional pressure on myself and i like how the plan works for me right now....so watch this space!
