From Bariatric Pathway to 5K: Jen’s Journey to Food Freedom


Listen Later

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of The Weight’s Over Live Show, Sandra Roycroft-Davis, creator of the award-winning Slimpod programme, speaks with Jen—a nurse and mum—who has lost 8 stone and taken back control of her life. Once on the brink of bariatric surgery, Jen shares how Slimpod helped her transform her mindset, reconnect with her body, and become the role model her daughter deserves.

We discuss:

  • Jen's emotional turning point

  • How the birth of her daughter motivated her to change

  • The guilt and fear she carried through pregnancy at a higher weight

  • Why diets had always failed her before

  • The emotional shift from food obsession to freedom

  • Non-scale victories: wearing her engagement ring again, fitting in chairs, enjoying baths

  • Discovering joy in movement—going from struggling to walk to running a 5K

  • The power of reframing: birthdays, holidays, and celebrations aren’t about food—they’re about connection

  • Trampolining, Zumba after shifts, and the itch to move

  • Learning to interrupt emotional eating with movement

  • How a Slimpod buddy helped her stay grounded during wobbles

  • The importance of trust, persistence, and self-compassion

  • Becoming a role model in every sense—for her daughter and herself
