I lost over nine stone.
The psychological lessons stayed with me.
The personal weight-loss story behind Happy Sexy Me—and why familiar food habits, emotions, self-talk and consistency inspired a new educational programme.
Why my weight-loss journey
inspired a mindset programme.
In February 2026, I began my weight-loss journey. By October, I had lost more than nine stone. The physical difference was striking, but I also discovered just how much of the experience involved my thoughts, emotions, established habits and the way I responded to difficult days.
Certain familiar foods meant pleasure, comfort and reassurance to me. Changing those routines could be emotionally difficult. I began to see that my weight-loss journey wasn't simply a series of decisions about food; it also involved noticing the feelings and situations linked to old habits.
I began asking myself questions I hadn't explored before. What did I feel when an old food habit became appealing? Which thoughts made me doubt myself? How did I respond when a weight-loss day was harder than I expected? And what did I really want from losing weight, beyond the number on the scales?
Over time, I felt more confident and more comfortable in my own skin. The words Happy Sexy Me describe how I personally feel today. They are not a promise about how somebody else will feel—or what anyone else should look like.
Those questions inspired Happy Sexy Me: a planned 12-week educational course for people who want to lose weight but struggle to begin, and for people already trying who want to understand their habits, emotional triggers and thought patterns more clearly.
My experience is personal, not a clinical study or a promise of what others will achieve. I am not a clinical psychologist or dietitian, and I am not recommending that anyone copy the methods behind my weight loss. The course is being developed as educational reflection and practical cognitive and behavioural skills, not treatment or a diet prescription.

From a personal weight-loss story
to understanding habits and emotions.
The founder's own journey inspired a programme built around questions many people recognise: Why does weight loss feel frightening to begin? Why do old food habits return? How do emotions affect choices? What happens to our thinking after a setback? Happy Sexy Me is developing structured lessons to explore these questions without prescribing a diet.
