I still can’t quite believe I’m writing this…
10,000 of you have bought The Weight’s Over in just over two months.
Ten thousand!!
I had braced myself for the silence. Truly. When the book went out into the world, I thought, “Maybe one person—maybe—will read it.” That’s not false humility. That’s the voice of fear that so many of us carry. The fear that our best might not be enough. That we’ll fall flat. That we’ll try, and fail, and feel the sting of shame echo louder than any cheer could.
And yet… here we are.
Not only have you shown up, you’ve made it a Sunday Times bestseller. And while I’m stunned by the numbers, it’s not about charts or labels. It’s about you.
You, who trusted me with your stories. You, who dared to believe there might be another way. You, who picked up the book, saw yourself in its pages, and felt a flicker of hope spark to life. You’ve made this milestone possible.
Because this book isn’t about me. It’s about us.
It’s about shaking off the weight of diet culture and reclaiming your freedom.” It’s about rediscovering trust in your own body. And yes—it’s about knowing that freedom from food obsession isn’t just a dream. It’s a reality. A quiet, powerful, everyday reality that grows stronger each time we choose to be kind to ourselves. This message echoes everything I see daily in our Slimpod community — the courage, the quiet wins, the belief growing bit by bit.
There’s still a part of me that finds it hard to believe. But the messages, the magazine features, the conversations—every single one has reminded me: this message matters. And so do you.
If you haven’t yet dipped into The Weight’s Over, I’d love you to explore it. You might just see yourself in its pages – and discover what freedom really feels like.
Here’s to life after dieting. And to believing in what’s possible—even when it feels scary.
