Make-up artist and nail technician Siobhan McDonald has spent her life helping other women look glamorous, while secretly hating how she looked herself. The Cheshire mum-of-two would constantly worry what others thought about her weight when she was at her heaviest at 18 stone.
But a dramatic health scare in hospital made her address for the first time her unhealthy relationship with food. She realised she needed to eat for the health and nourishment of her body, rather than simply for the goal of losing weight.
It sparked a change in Siobhan's mindset that would see her ditch her scales once and for all. After years doing weekly weigh-ins at slimming clubs or trying the latest fad diets she took a fresh approach based on healthy choices.
