Some words from the author
As someone who grew up as the “bigger” sibling, and now juggles being a mum of two boys while running two businesses, I’ve spent years wrestling with my weight, my confidence, and my self-worth. In a world obsessed with absurdly unrealistic beauty standards, it’s no wonder so many of us feel like we’re never enough. I know plenty of people who have not gone a single day without thinking about losing weight and how unhappy they are with their body..
You’re not alone—and more importantly, it’s not your fault.
The truth is, sustainable weight loss isn’t as simple as “eat less, move more.” There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and far too many of us are left blaming ourselves when we just haven’t been given the right tools or knowledge to succeed.
That’s why I wrote this book: to give you clarity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of the real reasons behind your struggles. Inside, you’ll find a practical, no-fluff guide to understanding your body so you can feel empowered and finally take the first step toward real, lasting change.
