I was unhappy for months, maybe years, about my weight. I had no confidence and zero self-esteem left before I made the choice to better myself. I found that I was avoiding nights with my friends or even taken trips to go shopping because I became so self-conscious about how I looked. I decided the month before I began my journey that I wanted to become the happy, confident, and full of life person that I was when I was younger. I had the typical story, I ate too much bad food, drank too much, and exercised very little. I blamed a bad knee injury for my laziness.

I still can't believe that was me and this is how far I've come when I bet there was many that wouldn't have believed I could change. But 4 years later I now have 14 stone off me (nearly 200lbs) starting at 27 stone, 2 half marathons finished, XFS Transformation Category and then a photoshoot.

The thought of taking my top off even a year ago would have been a no go, never mind for photographs and with other people around me. In the one weekend I did both that and swam at the beach for the first time in nearly 14 years! Without a doubt it was the final stage or step to finishing the transformation and finally feeling confident in myself. Onwards to more goals for next year.
