Leah shares that she went to Disneyland with her nephew, sister and brother-in-law. However, due to obesity, her body could not handle any kind of exertion, and she spent most of her time sitting on benches rather than enjoying the rides. She writes, “Being an aunt has been one of the greatest joys in my life. And this was the day I realised I couldn’t be the type of aunt I wanted to be because I couldn’t be a present one. I didn’t have the energy, endurance and health to be available for my nephew.”

Talking about her firm resolve to lose weight, Leah adds, “I wanted to be free to do what I wanted to do without worrying about if my body could handle it. In the past 3 years, I’ve watched what once felt impossible for me become possible.”
While previously she had tried quick fixes to lose weight, nothing had worked. This time, she changed her perspective, prioritising “gaining health over losing weight”.
Leah regularly worked out and changed her diet. She has also shared her meals on Instagram.
