I am a 29 year old mum of two beautiful children aged 6 and 4 years old. I've been on the obese size (size 20 at one point...I'm now a 14) since having my children and had no drive or confidence in life other than dedicating my time to my children.

I had left the Royal Marines and come to London searching for work to be able to pay my mortgage in Devon. I've always been interested in fitness and ended up as the Fitness Manager at The Third Space gym in Piccadilly.

Having spent years commuting and working in the service industry, I had always considered myself to be quite active.

 I have [ME/CFS](http://www.meassociation.org.uk/about/what-is-mecfs/), which years ago fundamentally affected my ability to function at 'normal' day-to-day levels.  I would sleep all weekend, get home from work, have a bath and got to bed: it wasn't much of a life.

I took up a fit and healthy lifestyle after I was involved in a car accident, fracturing my spine (whoops) and as a result I spent the following months sat on my sofa, off work and skipping meals when my medication made me feel ill and then binging on biscuits when I felt up to eating...(double whoops).
