When I got started in my career as a Wellness Coach, I didn’t think I needed to I needed to lose weight or even improve my nutrition as I'd been a vegetarian since I was 16 and had always been very focussed on nutrition and eating well. I was working full time in a job doing 60-80 hours per week, I was renovating my house &, as a single mum, was raising my then 4 year old son. I would get home from work at 6.45, get my son fed, bathed & into bed and would fall asleep on the couch around 8pm. (But no, I didn't think I needed to do anything about my nutrition! LOL).

Within 2 days of starting on our programme I found myself up at midnight doing the vacuuming (I promise you I DON'T like vacuuming that much - I just had so much energy I didn't know what else to do at that time of night).

Four days onto the programme I got up to go to work, put my skirt on and it literally slipped over my hips and fell off. After I stopped blaming the dry cleaners for stretching my skirt, I ended up wearing a skirt from the wardrobe in the spare room that I had not worn in nearly 10 years - it was 2 sizes smaller than the one I had worn the day before.

I went on to lose 12 kg over the next two months and honestly, I don't know that I'd ever felt so good.
