The EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley says she “regrets” how she lost half her body weight – a whopping seven stone – and I can really understand her dilemma.
While my weight loss wasn’t quite as dramatic as Stanley’s, it was significant enough for me to struggle with it psychologically. I had piled on the pounds after two pregnancies and then started stress eating as a single, working mum, who was also caring for my elderly dad. When my GP told me my cholesterol levels were dangerously high, I got a private prescription of Wegovy in 2024 and then, in a matter of a few months, I was nearly three stone lighter.
