When I look back to the summer of 2017, I can see quite clearly I wasn’t looking after myself at all! I was struggling as a single mum of 3, in survival mode, coping but not living life and not being the best version of me! I was eating anything I wanted, telling myself I deserved it and not getting enough sleep, so a vicious circle of being tired and over eating right there. Not to mention how my mind was getting on! I had hit the comfort zone of self destruction! I saw an opportunity late last year that really hit with me and I started my journey to learn to love who I was again and put myself first so I could be the best Mum to my children and the best version of me. I felt the desire to achieve my potential and show my kids there was more to me than what I was showing them. Small steps at a time and my transformation is underway. You can see from my pictures the physical changes BUT the most profound and the main motivation for making this change was the change in my MIND. I achieved this as a result of being part of an amazing accountability group. I feel alive again! No longer feeling stagnant in life and now feeling like I’m worth something to show myself in the world again. Remember shine the light you have within.

“I have always been an active person, having played a lot of sport at school, however moving to the Caribbean to live I got into the party culture and wasn’t playing as much sport. I put on a lot of weight and became obese. I wanted to change this and started doing beach body workouts on my own and achieved amazing results, losing 40lbs in about 2 months. Unfortunately I fell back into old habits and put the weight back on. I followed this pattern over and over again. I realised that I found it hard to keep motivating myself and that’s when the bad habits crept back in. I needed more than myself to keep me motivated and on track. When I joined an accountability group it inspired me to keep going because I was sharing in everyone else’s success and didn’t want to let the team down. Seeing everyone else succeed and helping them towards their goals enabled me to stick with it! Having a team hold me accountable was the missing ingredient”
