MY weight is something I’m always going to have to watch.
After I had my little boy Reggie two years ago, I steadily got heavier.
He’s now a toddler and is as fast as hell – I was struggling to keep up with him.
I knew I needed to do something about it.
Since January, I’ve gone from a size 18 to a size 14 – and I’m still working hard. I joined WW and started tracking my diet.
I’ve always got a big bowl of fruit in the house so if I’m peckish I can grab a healthy snack.
I’ll never understand someone who can just have one square of chocolate and put it back in the cupboard – I do not have that restraint.
Every Sunday I go to the shops, buy my food for the week and plan what I’m going to eat each day.
It means I’m not tempted to buy something unhealthy when I’m out and about.
I get plenty of sleep because whenever you’re tired, it’s easy to go for the naughties and all the stodge.
But I don’t restrict the foods I love either.
My favourite takeaway is a curry and I used to beat myself up about having one.
Now I enjoy it in moderation and make sure I exercise enough so I know I’ve earned it.
I go to the gym three times a week, and over lockdown went for some beautiful walks exploring nature with my son.
It’s been a really fun bonding experience and a great way to stay active.
