“At the time, my social media pages were just beginning to be taken seriously. I gained a lot of followers and it was at this point that I lost weight. However, I felt like he wasn’t wanting me to do so.
“It became quite negative. He wasn’t happy, and he became an obstacle to me. It was time to end the relationship.
“It makes me feel negative when I’m in a bad situation. I felt this way, so I started to eat and emotionally eat.
It was my safety net, and since I was unable to do more, that is what I turned to.

I eat 2300 calories daily to maintain my slim body. “I feel like I’ve got a new lease on life.”
