A mum knew she had to change after going to the playground with her children. Rebecca Smith, 34, from Prenton , struggled keeping active for a long time as she faced difficulties with her mental health and being a mum.
Rebecca’s third child, Elsie, who is two, following on from Lottie, who is now seven, and Layla, who is 13. Rebecca was continuing to struggle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder . This is a mood disorder where symptoms appear in the week or two before a woman’s period starts. Symptoms of PMDD include severe depression, anxiety and overeating. Rebecca weighed 18 stone and 11 pounds around the time Elsie was born.
” Rebecca found “unreal” support from the Slimming World Birkenhead group on Laird Street during this time. She also began making personalised pyjamas, prints and keyrings for friends and family, which she made into a business called So Much Sweeter. Rebecca said: “It’s all about personalisation. Because I struggle so much with my mental health, I’ve tried to be self-employed and give myself some freedom about when I work. With it, I’ve also tried to stick to a budget.
