I was made redundant during the first wave of COVID in 2020.
This shattered my world, my self-worth took a beating and to top it all off the following week South Australia went into COVID lockdown. This meant that I lost all social connections pretty much overnight. So, I started to do what most people do when they are alone and lost and just started to eat.
I am ashamed to say I blossomed to 124kgs.
I shut off completely and when we were allowed back out I would not attend any social outings as I was worried about how I looked and what people would think.
Over the past few years, I had tried all sorts of diets, “Ways of Life” and even Duromine and acupuncture and was never able to get below 119kg. Every time I lost weight I would put it straight back on again. My Derby name is Alotta Amazon because I am a whole lot of women. And now I had ballooned even more. I honestly thought I was never going to be healthy again. That I was past it and just had to put up with it. My doctor even told me that I was fighting genetics and would just have to live with it, even after discovering I was a type 2 diabetic.
Then came the day that I finally opened my ears and listened to the amazing and awesome friend. She had been on a program and lost a very noticeable amount of weight. So, I thought “stuff” genetics. It is all about choices and I made the choice to be healthy.
And as they say, the rest is history. Or should that be, the weight is history.

You do you honey. You can do this. We all can. I have been your weight and more so I do understand. Just don’t give up. Use all the resources this app has. It has certainly helped me. Good luck 🙏

It’s not easy. Well done!! Just started my weight loss journey - looking at hormones, diet, exercise, counseling and even changing jobs and where I live.

Good for you. weight loss is even harder when you feel defeated mentally, but you did it. you should be so proud of yourself.

congratulations on your weight loss. I am in S.A. too, and starting my journey again too since an injury and a lot of weight gain. I'm interested in the program you are on.

Wow, thanks everyone. I didn't actually realise that my Journal posts were posted "Publicly". I thought that they were just on my page if anyone that ventured there. Thank you for your kind words, it does mean a lot to me.
