I Couldn't Play With My Daughter - So I Lost 181lbs | BRAND NEW ME
Dec 04 2021
A MUM has lost 181lbs after realising she was too heavy to play with her child. Jamilla, 28, was 306lbs at her highest and gained most of it after the birth of her daughter. Her lightbulb moment came when she took her daughter to the park and realised she couldn’t play with her like other parents with their children. Jamilla told Truly: "I was addicted to food, if I was happy, I’d eat and if I was sad I’d eat." Jamila underwent bariatric surgery but although it was a starting point, Jamilla says the hardest thing about losing weight was changing her mentality around food. "My main goal in losing weight was to feel like I'm living," she says, and now loves her life and spends lots of time in the park with her daughter.
