EP149 - Clare’s Story: From Denial to Empowerment and 6 Stone Lost

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Clare from Essex - an inspiring guest who shares her powerful story of reclaiming her health, confidence, and identity. After a lifetime of struggling with her weight, Clare hit a turning point in her late 40s that made her say: “Enough is enough.”

We talk about the personal wake-up calls that changed everything - from the loss of family members to a stark passport photo - and how she used that moment to finally take control. Clare opens up about overcoming years of yo-yo dieting, the importance of mindset shifts, and how her Slimming World group became a lifeline of support.

Now 6 stone lighter, feeling stronger, and about to become a Slimming World consultant herself, Clare is determined to pay it forward and help others in her community find hope and lasting change too.

Key Highlights:

A lifetime of struggle - How early diet culture and emotional eating impacted Clare’s confidence.

The turning point - A mix of grief and a confronting passport photo set her journey in motion.

Real-life challenges - From food intolerances to holiday temptations, and how she handled them.
