Q: What made you decide to lose weight?

A: I had my third child, Miley, and I was still carrying the post-pregnancy weight six months on. I used to be a size 10 – 12, so I wanted to shift that baby weight and feel comfortable again. Then my little boy used the word ‘fat’ once and I couldn’t find the words to explain to him why it wasn’t kind. It hurt. I knew I needed to do something.
