In this deeply personal and empowering episode, Sandra sits down with Lorraine, a Slimpod member who once carried an extra 11 stone and felt lost in her own life. From the outside, Lorraine seemed confident, but inside she battled depression, loneliness, and a lifelong struggle with food.

Lorraine opens up about:

• Living a “double life” and the emotional toll of obesity

• Her long history with failed diets

• The turning point: discovering Slimpod and noticing immediate mindset shifts

• Her addiction to sugar — and how she gave it up without feeling deprived

• Building new habits effortlessly, like choosing berries over croissants

• How she went from hardly walking to enjoying nature walks, swimming, and even hula hooping

• Her transformation from a size 28 to a happy and confident 14–16

• Why she says: “I lost weight because I stopped dieting”

• Ditching diets can lead to sustainable weight loss when mindset is prioritized

• Small mental shifts create big lifestyle changes

• Emotional eating often masks deeper struggles — and can be rewired

• Exercise doesn’t need to be punishment — joy and nature can be your gym

• Self-acceptance matters more than the number on the scale

“It was like a switch went on in my brain… I don’t gorge on chocolate anymore, because I don’t need to.”
