Lost 19.30 Kg
Throughout my life, I always weighed around 50kg. I never imagined my body would change so drastically. Personal hardships, the birth of my first child, and lack of time for exercise due to work led to weight gain. But the hardest part wasn’t the scales—it was the way others’ eyes changed… and with them, my own love for myself.
I remember crying in front of my wardrobe, feeling like nothing made me beautiful. After years of trying, I became pregnant with my second child and finally smiled again. A few months later, my baby passed away. The emptiness drove me back to food, and I reached the heaviest weight of my life: 75.6kg.
The moment my son asked, “Mum, why don’t you come to the beach?” was a turning point. I was ashamed to wear a swimsuit and realised how many moments I had missed. That’s when my Consultant, Demetris Photiou, and The 1:1 Diet came into my life. For the first time in years, I decided to do something for myself.
Losing weight became a journey of self-discovery and healing. My confidence returned, and the most powerful moment was swimming again with my son.
Today, after losing 19.3kg, my soul remains the same. Only my perspective has changed. I’ve learned to love myself again and to stand proud—not just for the kilos I’ve lost, but for the woman who was reborn through this journey.
