I Lost ½ My Weight To Wear My Dream Dress | BRAND NEW ME

A WOMAN who saw her weight balloon to 264lbs after falling pregnant has lost 121lbs naturally - and now has the flat stomach she was working so hard towards. After falling pregnant with her first child, Victoria Bowen, from Red Cliffs, Australia, started eating for two quite literally. But rather than go back to her usual eating patterns before the pregnancy Victoria says she continued to eat more and more. Trapped in a cycle where she felt unhappy with her weight and appearance but then in turn comfort ate, Victoria even stopped going out the house. The mother of two, also refused to weigh herself, too afraid to see what the final figure was. When she did, she was so shocked, she knew she needed to change, kickstarting a new healthy eating and exercise regime. After weighing herself, the moment of truth spurred Victoria on to begin her body transformation, swapping to whole foods, vegetables and lean meats and ditching soft drinks in favour of water. She said: “I completely overhauled my lifestyle 100%. Throughout my journey, I have lost a total of 55 kilos. I never thought that I could lose the amount of weight that I had. I obviously wanted to lose weight but no I never in my wildest dreams that I think that I would lose like a whole person.”
