The power of self-love

Thank you for visiting my site all about my radical new approach to weight loss.

I believe that to create any big change in your life, first you need to accept yourself and show yourself love. With self love on your side you can achieve anything - even weight loss.

I am so grateful you’re here reading this page - a page that a few years ago, simply wasn’t possible.

This, after all, is a website about self love. It’s my website about self love.  What’s remarkable here, is that a few years ago, I not only didn’t have a website or a book all about self love, but I also didn’t love myself.
Very much at all. 

My story is typical

A few years ago I was officially obese and heading for morbid obesity. I looked nothing like I look now and to say I was miserable in my own skin would be an enormous understatement.  My story is typical: in my twenties and thirties, I gained weight gradually and reluctantly, with life’s setbacks causing me to feel less and less excited about being me. I fell out of love with myself and was stuck in a rut and feeling a nagging sense of regret as I woke up each day.

The weight led to unhappiness, the unhappiness led to more weight gain. And so the cycle continued.


Like many people, I’d ‘try’ to lose weight, but my half-hearted attempts never really led to much. How was I going to get out of this situation? How was it going to be different this time?

A Catalyst for Change

My life changed overnight when I had my daughter; I felt a greater sense of responsibility (as so many new mums do). So, when she was a few weeks old and I realised that I was not ‘just pregnant’ but by now massively overweight and a UK size 20, I made a decision.

I was going to get back to a healthy weight, keep the weight off and stop living with the regret. I was going to treat myself right this time.

Over time I lost the weight. It took over a year but less than two and I finally reached my ultimate goal weight and a healthy BMI of under 25 . I had lost 86 pounds (that’s over 6 stones). I ate differently and I moved my body more but I wasn’t following a difficult diet or exercise regime. I was just putting myself first. I was putting self-love first.

Treating myself right


This sense of wanting to treat myself right developed into a sense of self-like and appreciation. I read all about self-esteem, self-care and self-love. I practised writing and saying affirmations and used all sorts of tactics I’d previously have thought of as bonkers to help me. Well, those bonkers things I did, like telling myself I loved myself every day, like learning to love my body however lumpy, bumpy and saggy it is, like always taking time for some gentle exercise, and learning to eat consciously - all started to work.

I want to help you
do the same

I wrote my book over the course of the pandemic because I realised that mine was a radical way to lose weight and I wanted to help other people use this new approach. After all, starting with self-love made weight loss super easy and enjoyable.  If you’re struggling with weight and feeling a lack of love for yourself, this could be the approach you’ve been looking for.
