In this deeply moving and inspiring episode, Sandra Roycroft-Davis welcomes Heather, a Slimpod user whose lifelong struggle with weight and emotional eating finally found a breakthrough at the age of 70. From a wardrobe full of clothes that didn’t fit to hiding her attempts from friends and family, Heather shares her honest and unscripted journey from despair to empowerment.

She discusses how emotional trauma, self-sabotage, and dieting disappointment shaped her past — and how one Facebook ad changed her life. With the help of the Slimpod programme and a powerful audio session with Trevor, Heather describes how her mindset flipped overnight. No more compulsive snacking, no more scale obsession, and, most importantly, a newfound peace in her relationship with food.

We discuss:

• Heather started Slimpod at age 70 after decades of failed diets.

• She stopped snacking completely since day one and now eats only when truly hungry.

• She went from size 24 to wearing size 18 — and is confidently heading for her goal of size 16.

• Slimpod helped her eliminate emotional eating and rebuild her confidence without the scale.

• Her relationship with food has changed from mindless eating to intentional nourishment.

• Physical ailments like knee and foot pain have significantly improved.

In this deeply moving and empowering episode of The Weight’s Over, Sandra sits down with a guest whose life was transformed by the Slimpod programme. At 19 stone and feeling trapped in a body that wouldn’t move, she believed she had an undiagnosed condition — until a chance encounter with Slimpod sparked a complete mindset shift.

We explore her extraordinary 13-month journey to lose 7 stone, regain her energy, and reclaim her self-worth. But the story doesn’t stop there. After maintaining her weight loss for a year, life threw her off course — menopause, loss of purpose, and negative self-talk led to a relapse.

Key Takeaways:

• Why weight loss is as much about the mind as it is about the body

• How menopause and emotional triggers impact progress — and how to push through

• The power of having a clear “why” and a mindset anchored in self-worth
