About the episode: Having suffered with body dysmorphia from a young age, Lucy’s weight had been dangerously low throughout her teenage years. Unfortunately, when Lucy started working the freedom of adulthood led to self sabotage and during the next 7 years went on to gain over 100lbs. During our conversation I hear how difficult emotional times contributed to Lucy’s journey, often creating a loss of self confidence and low self esteem. Lucy discovered the “One 2 One” diet and during her time studying to become a teacher, lost a considerable amount of weight. She shares how this led to a feeling of being accepted, despite knowing deep down it was her personality that people liked her for. Then, as is the same for so many of us, “life” got in the way and Lucy gained the weight she had lost and more. This episode has been recorded around 4 months into Lucy’s new journey and I discover how this time it has led to her not only losing an amazing amount of weight but how she know has her own business as a consultant and is helping others. When listening, I was reminded me how many people like Lucy are currently there, overcoming a battle that goes beyond simple weight loss. We all have circumstances that either contributed to the desire to lose weight, or that continue to create obstacles in us reaching our goal. The key thing here is to keep going. Recognise the many, many positive things about you and how you contribute to the lives of so many around you in a meaningful way. Lucy has a great Instagram account and I love how honest she is. There is no sugar coating. The wins are genuine and glow with pride, the challenges are raw and will be extremely relatable to many of you listening.
