Well London/Essex, lol.

Currently:

  • 32
  • over 120kg (Height: 5’6)
  • 9 months postpartum (first baby) and coping with Post natal depression
  • gestational diabetes that turned full blown type 2
  • cholesterol up
  • blood pressure up
  • & carrying an ankle injury predating all the weight gain, now worse
My GP was meant to refer me into weight management & put me on MJ, but then tiktok surfaced Reta and I went on a deep deep dive. Months of reading trials and protocols and watching endless videos later, I'm convinced it's the best option for me. Metformin stays alongside it until, fingers crossed, enough weight comes off & the diabetes goes into remission.

What comes next:

  • settling on a vendor and buying.
  • joining a gym. Light cardio and weights to begin with, building a routine gradually. Movement & consistency matter most right now, since I'm home 24/7.
  • a protein rich diet so muscle stays put, plus meals that taste good & don't take much effort, since 90% of the household cooking is mine. Batch cooking too, so there's always something in and we don't end up ordering rubbish.
Small is something I've never been; 95KG was my lowest in recent years. People tell me I ‘carry it well’, but I've had enough of carrying it. What I'm looking forward to is a different relationship with food, and becoming the most healthiest version of myself — not only so I can be the best mum and run around with my little boy, but so I can be the best partner, sister, daughter, friend and colleague, and start living a full a life again.

Thanks for having me along. Any advice is welcome!
