My Weight Loss WOW moment
From yo-yo dieter to determined wellbeing chaser, Sjalie reveals the journey she took to go from a size 20 to size 14.
At 37, Sjalie Howkins could not be prouder of herself. After a disastrous accident in her mid-20s, she stumbled upon a new and difficult relationship with food and exercise that got in the way of her happiness.
Now, after a decade of feeling that way, she has turned it all around.
“My weight issues started in my mid 20s when I broke my leg and couldn’t walk for close to a year. I went from a size 10 to a size 16,” she says.
“I found myself trapped in a cycle of undereating and over exercising, then overeating and zero exercise. I’d lose weight and then gain it (and then some) back again. I tried to get the weight off in all the wrong ways, and of course, nothing worked long term. The worst I could have done though, was make myself unrealistic promises. I set myself up for failure repeatedly which destroyed my confidence.”
