I've Lost 12 Stone - And I Love My Loose Skin | BRAND NEW ME
Apr 20 2021
HANNAH, from Leicester, UK had always struggled with her weight and her love of food led her to get bigger and bigger. This only got worse when she fell pregnant and her weight spiralled out of control. Hannah's self esteem reached an all time low which resulted in her developing some terrible eating habits. Hannah told Truly: "The only thing that was keeping me happy was food. I'd sit and eat an entire birthday cake for breakfast." At her heaviest Hannah reached 362lbs and was given a warning by her doctor that if things don't change then she would be at risk of a heart attack. Hannah's realisation moment came in the form of two pictures taken of her at her 30th birthday party. She said: "They were the ones that made me go... 'dammit, you've got quite big', that was the moment where I needed to sort my life out." With that Hannah embarked on her journey and after running, walking and a change in diet, lost an incredible 172lbs. However Hannah was not expecting the loose skin that would come with such a large weight loss. "There was a time when I absolutely hated it, but then I started to learn to love myself. This bit of skin is a part of my journey and I love it as it's a part of me."
