My name is Mel the founder of Angels Dance and Fitness, iv always had a pretty up and down relationship with my weight, being 18 stone and a size 20/22 at my heaviest, I was unfit and unwell.
I then started to understand that I was using food as a comfort when i was in a bad place, I didn't want to leave the house just incase people seen how much weight I had put on.
In 2011 I found my love for zumba - I swear I'm allergic to the gym 🤣🤣 I learned how to control my eating and through the love of dance I got myself back into a good healthy place.
Recently I have been in a very low place, alot going on (as most have been) standing on the scales recently and seeing I am just as heavy as I was after having my son Ollie, this would usually send me back to out of control eating and isolation.
This time round Iv took time out from eveything to concentrate on me and my wellbeing, I have started a fresh hitting a 7lbs weight loss this week, I still have a long way to go but I am determined more than ever to feel the best about myself. Thanks to Ste, friends and my angels family for helping me and supporting me, couldn't do this without you 💗.
These pictures are a little reminder that i can do this and if anyone is going through the same thing we are here to support you!!! We are all human and even the instructors are going through everything their pupils go through!!!
