Jen, from Manchester, says she found a way to transform her mind and body after the embarassing trip to her GP
A 45-year-old woman who 'couldn't live a full life' after hitting size 18 says she has transformed her mind and body after losing 66lbs. Jen Krauklis says she felt very depressed by her size 18 body, felt self-conscious and was plagued with aches and pains due to her weight.
“I’ve always felt that exercise was never for my health, it was to make me as thin as possible because that’s how my self-worth was judged.” Being perimenopausal made things even worse for Jen’s physical and mental health. “Perimenopause hit me hard,” she said. “At first the symptoms sort of creep up on you: body aches, irregular periods, brain fog and fatigue. But I always felt at the time, it could have been associated with other things like maybe not getting enough sleep in the first place.
“I would lie all the time and if something required me to reveal how much I weighed, I would avoid it. I remember years ago when I worked as Cabin Crew and being on a layover, a few of us had an opportunity to go on a cable cart experience in a rainforest. “As I get older, yes, things do become harder, but that is even more reason to look after myself. I don’t want to go into old age relying on people taking care of me. I want to be independent and look after myself. And the only way to do this, is to dedicate good nutrition to fuel my body so that I can exercise and keep moving in old age!
