Hi Iโm Hollie ๐
At 30, I was morbidly obese with a BMI over 42. At just 5 feet tall, I was wearing a size 20-22, struggling with my health, and using food to cope with grief, stress, and postnatal depression.
Losing my mum at 22 hit me hard, and emotional eating became my comfortโuntil it started taking more from me than it was giving.
The wake-up call? Just before my 30th birthday, I applied for life insurance after seeing an advert saying it could be โas little as ยฃ1 a month.โ But when my quote came back, I was told my weight made it unaffordable. That hit me like a ton of bricks. If something happened to me, how would my daughter be provided for?
On top of that, my health was spirallingโgastro issues, joint pain, struggling to walk and sleep. I was even offered the flu jab, not because of an underlying condition, but because I was morbidly obese. I knew I had to change.
Food had always been my crutchโlike a prescription to get through the day. But I needed something different. The 1:1 Diet changed everything. It silenced the food noise, helped me manage emotional and secret eating, and gave me back control.
Now, nearly two years into maintaining a 6-stone weight loss, I wonโt pretend itโs been easy. Maintenance has been just as much of a journey as losing the weight, but Iโve learned to navigate lifeโs ups and downs without turning to food. Iโm still a foodie (always will be!), but this time, Iโm in control.
