Episode 31, Amy Victoria embarked on a self-care challenge during lockdown to improve her confidence and this has proved a great investment of her time.

 

 

Amy wanted to lose weight after giving birth to her beautiful daughter. Amy's family gently guided her through the doors of her local slimming group by not taking no for an answer! However, although Amy was now a member of a slimming group Amy took some convincing that Slimming World was the right weight loss plan for her. Amy committed to two weeks on the plan but no more and the weight came off with ease. Surprised by her success Amy committed to a full month explaining that surely the weight loss would stop at this point. Now four stone 10lbs lighter Amy knew that she had chosen the right weight loss plan that worked around her busy life when working and looking after her young daughter. 

Amy chose to use lockdown as a way to challenge her issues with her confidence. Amy talks of her new love for walking in the woods with her partner and daughter and how she has found the confidence to go on her own soaking up the peace and quiet that has benefited Amy promoting a healthy state of mind.

Amy is an open book and just like her Instagram account shares an honest portrait of all that life brings to her doorstep. Amy never thought that she would have the confidence to post photos of her stretch marks but in 2020 Amy did exactly that. Amy is beautiful both inside and out and encourages other women to embrace their confidence and recognize their beauty.
