Hey there! I’m a Sydney business owner, a mum to Billy (11) and Louis (9), and married to the amazing Patrick (well, most days!). I struggled with my weight for years, especially after having kids. I tried everything from Jenny Craig to Weight Watchers, but nothing stuck. I accepted being "fat and unhappy" until COVID hit. I stumbled upon the Virtual Gastric Band program. After my first session, I lost 3kg! Fast forward three years—I’ve shed 20kg and LOVE how I look!

Here’s what changed for me:

Smaller food portions

3 small meals a day

Lots of water

No more kids' leftovers

Positive self-talk

Enjoying walks with my dog

Embracing veggies and salads

I realized I’m not a garbage bin! Now, I still enjoy pasta, pizza and chocolate without guilt because I just eat smaller amounts.
