Episode 65, Kirsty Lee opens up about her weight loss journey and the need for positive self-talk after reaching her target weight.

 

Kirsty Lee has changed her dress size from a size 16/18 to a UK size 10 all in the name of health and the desire to set a good example for her daughter.

Kirsty was able to have an open and honest conversation with her doctor after experiencing pain from an issue with a condition Kirsty has had with her hip for many years. Kirsty left her consultation with her doctor with those words hitting the spot that would help motivate Kirsty to make positive changes to her diet and exercise to relieve the pressure from her hip by reducing her weight.

Just like many listeners to the podcast, this wasn't the first time Kirsty had embarked on a decision to lose weight but something had changed after her conversation with her doctor. Kirsty wanted to be fit and well and spend quality family time with her daughter. Sitting on the sidelines as an onlooker was no longer on the agenda for Kirsty.

Not only does Kirsty give you an insight into her weight loss journey with Slimming World Kirsty also openly admits to the reality of being at target weight but still seeing herself as a fat person.

This is a great honest episode as Kirsty also discusses the reality of the pressure of trying to fulfill all aspects of her life as many women do with sheer perfection! Kirsty discusses what triggers her in terms of working as a full-time mum with the pressure of keeping up with everything else as we both disclose our experiences of “mum guilt”.
