side
Do you feel like you’re getting nowhere with your weight loss journey? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t stop falling into the same old cycle of yo-yo diets and binge eating?
I know how
you feel!
Emma
My whole life, I struggled with weight and self-image issues. At school, I was known as the “fat kid”. I got bullied and suffered in silence with an eating disorder for many years. I tried every fad and quick-fix diet in the book. And none of it made me feel better about myself.
It wasn’t until I realised that fitness should be about loving your body, not hating it, that I started making real, positive change.
I realised that, yes, you can have balance. You can eat the things you love and still be healthy. Physically and mentally. And that your journey starts with kindness. Not judgement.
That’s why I started Empower. To help women avoid the mistakes I made. To stop swinging from one extreme to the other. To discover that a sustained, healthy lifestyle can actually be easy. Effortless. Even fun!
