This week I have been featured in the lovely 'Reveal' magazine due to my weight-loss. I had an amazing day with the other two beautiful and inspiring women featured in the article and it has made me really proud of my achievement.
This year has been incredibly tough and challenging, but it has been lovely to see that all my hard work and determination has paid off and I now have a body i'm vaguely comfortable with. Although I said in the magazine 'I still have fat days', it seems that i'm now coming to terms with my body image and I hope every woman can eventually look at themselves and feel beautiful, because my new found confidence has made me realise, although I don't have the 'model' body, I am beautiful in my own way, just like everyone else.
Although my diet is mentioned as the 'cider vinegar diet', my weight loss was mainly down to the exercise and healthy eating and I thoroughly believe that weight-loss isn't about just losing weight, it is about doing something healthy and active that increases your confidence whatever size you may be. If I could ask anything of my followers, just take one second to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful, because you may not see, but all of you are incredibly beautiful whoever you may be.
I would personally like to thank Reveal magazine for allowing me in their magazine, giving me extremely good memories and creating images for me that represent a brand new start - I am forever thankful.
