Start your 30-day “I’m Doing This” Challenge and take the first small step toward lasting change.
Hi, I'm Helen
For years, I felt stuck. Trapped in a cycle of emotional eating, shame, and feeling like real change was for other people. I lived with pain from lymphedema, carrying nearly 20 stone, my weight creeping up each year, whilst nothing I did made a impact. Then I discovered something different and for the first time, I started to believe it wasn’t too late.
I have started taking Mounjaro, a licensed drug to help treat obesity in the UK. I had been thinking about starting this treatment for quite a while and looked into this and other alternatives that are available in the UK.
There is so much misinformation about these drugs online and in the media so I hope I can help by sharing my experiences and provide you all with more information through my blog posts.
If you have any questions please feel free to drop me a message or let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to discuss.
Please note that I am only documenting my experience, always do your own research and speak to a doctor or pharmacy for medical advice or if you have concerns whilst taking GLP1 medication.
With love, Helen 🩷

Sunshine, Shopping & Suitcase Stress
Breaking News:
None. Of. My. Holiday. Clothes. Fit. 😱
Not in the “Oh this is a little snug” kind of way.
More like “I could use this dress as a tent” kind of way.
Honestly, this is the kind of problem Idreamedof when I started this journey...
But did it have to happen right before I go away?! 😂
🛍️ Operation: Emergency Holiday Wardrobe
Cue frantic online shopping.
Returns pile in the hallway.
A dramatic moment in front of the mirror muttering,“Who even makes these sizes?!”
Followed by a quick reminder:“Oh wait. I’ve lost over SIX stone. Of course nothing fits anymore.”😳💃
The win? I get to step into holiday mode feeling lighter — literally and emotionally — than I have in years.
The struggle? Finding a swimsuit that supportseverythingand still lets you breathe. (Why is this so hard?!)
✈️ Morocco, I'm Coming for You!
The sunshine is calling.
The suitcase is packed.
The body has been:
Defuzzed ✅
Buffed ✅
Moisturised to within an inch of its life ✅
Sprayed with just awhiffof optimism ☀️
And just in time, the final deadlines for work have been ticked off, the out-of-office is on, and I’m ready to swap email notifications for poolside naps.
⚖️ Weight Loss This Week
📉 1.1 lbs down
Let’s hear it for the pre-holiday mini whoosh!
Considering the cake-related stress of trying on 27 dresses, I’m calling this a double win. 🎉👗
📓Journaling Prompt of the Week
✨When you look in the mirror, what’s changed that isn’t physical?
What do you nowbelieveabout yourself that you didn’t 6 months ago?
What version of you is going on this holiday — and how is she different from the one who used to pack with dread?
This is about more than smaller clothes. This is about stepping into new skin, new confidence, and new habits — one outfit at a time.
🦋 Final Thought
The holiday clothes might not fit — but the life you’re building?
It’s starting to fit youjust right.
So here’s to sun on your skin, books by the pool, and that amazing moment when you realise you’re not juston holiday— you’re becoming the woman you always dreamed of being. 🌴💖
