Cristal - Golden Alpha

It is NEVER too late to put yourself first, girl!!

EVERY TIME you look in the mirror you think - WTF has happened to me, how did I let it get to this

As the months & years go by it feels like a mountain that just keeps getting even bigger, even harder to climb.

You’re the one always avoiding group photos

Dipping out of plans last min because the thought of finding something to wear is too stressful & you can’t face another outing for your Matalan Jeggings & oversized Shein top you’ve got in 5 different colours because it’s the only thing that hides your “wobbly bits”

Fast track 3 months from now…

You’re breathing a sigh of relief that summer is nearly over, no more frantically thinking of ways to stay covered, you’ll be able to return to your baggy hoodie/leggings uniform

Or you could be just about to finish your 3rd month on Golden Alpha

Not only are you feeling slimmer - it’s not a swear word, okay!

You’ve found a confidence and a love for life you’ve not had since you were a teenager!

You’re absolutely over the moon with the person you’ve become and the incredible memories you’ve made!

& you’ve actually got photos to look back on seeing as you’ve not been dodging the camera the whole time!!

chose the latter & she’s getting ready to enter summer 2026 like a brand new B 💅🏼

Be smart, be like Kirsty 🙌🏽

It didn’t matter how many times my partner told me I was beautiful

I was disgusted at what I saw in the mirror

No amount of positive affirmations would change the scars on my legs from the chub rub

People talk about getting to the “enough is enough” point

But I bet half of you fib about what that point was…

No one wants to talk about how degrading it feels, as a woman, to not feel sexy in between the sheets

Sexy isn’t a size

It’s a feeling

But if you don’t feel sexy at the size you’re at then it’s time you did something about it, girl.

Making an investment in yourself is probably one of the most empowering things you can do

You realise your worth & what you’re capable of

It’s not about “taking up less space” in the world

It’s about self respect

I hate that it’s become such a taboo to say you want to change your physical appearance

& that if you do it *MUST* be because of a man or to conform with societal norms

We live in a time where empower women to have autonomy over their own body

That includes how YOU feel about the way you look to

If you’re ready to take that first step & want a completely judgement free space then drop me a message 😘

Call it ovulation

Call it me getting soft in my old age

But there really is no one like my Saus

From the first time we met where he told me he’d give me the best 12 inches I’d ever have, in 4 instalments

To our first date a year later

To getting engaged

To visiting 16 (soon to be 17 countries)

Life hasn’t thrown us any favours but we got through it one sick NSFW joke at a time

Working with hundreds upon hundreds of women over the last 14 years I’ve seen the damage an insecure little man can do when a woman starts finding her sparkle ✨ again

I mean, I’ve been through it myself both personally & professionally

So being where I am now, with who I’m with, makes me the richest girl in the world 😘

Feeling like Michael Bublé & only coming out once a year 😮‍💨

After spending the first 5 months of the year hibernating I’m already overwhelmed with all the plans I have but it does make for a slightly more interesting weekly dump 🤣

In a world full of Molly-Mae’s…

Be a Kat Slater 💅🏼🐆

For me, confidence has never been about fitting in or doing what everyone else is doing.

It’s about doing what feels good to ME.

I’ve never got my legs out for a photoshoot before.

They’ve always been my biggest insecurity.

After my fitness shoot last year, before my surgery, I promised myself that next time round I’d seriously get out of my comfort zone.

Or in my words…

Get a bit slaggy 🤣

I had this exact look planned before I’d even booked the shoot.

The jacket.

The heels.

The underwear.

I just needed the confidence to pull it off.

And yeah, getting my b***s done did wonders for my confidence…

But it didn’t magically change how I felt about my legs.

A few months before this shoot, my GP confirmed I had stage 1 lipedema.

But instead of spiralling over it, I focused on the prep.

I trained hard.

Lifted heavy.

Tracked my calories.

Dragged myself out of bed for walks.

Basically entered a toxic relationship with the Stairmaster.

All so I could feel confident enough to take this photo.

But here’s the caveat…

It wasn’t making my legs smaller that gave me confidence.

It was the work I’d put in.

The self-belief I’d built.

The discipline.

The resilience.

The tenacity I proved to myself I had.

THAT’S what gave me the confidence to do this.

Don’t fu***ng ever let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do with your body.

If there’s something YOU want to change, do what’s in your power to make yourself feel good.

& if you need some help with that, you know where I am ✌🏼 😘

2 weeks post shoot 🔥

Feeling really good about how the reverse is going so far

Sitting just 0.5kg above photoshoot weight

Waist is up by 3cm

Have been feeling a little bloated so I’ve taken psyllium husk back out of my diet as it’s pretty much the only thing that’s changed and it did make me feel sluggish while I was dieting

I am also due on so that will play its part

New training block this week & those back gains are gonna be big 😮‍💨

Deadlifts are back for the first time in 4 years - so excited to see where I can get them to!

Calories are at 1560 which is 300 above where they were

I got asked “is that it?”

The point of a reverse isn’t to start troughing everything in sight

It’s too gradually increase calorie intake to minimise any body fat gains

So hopefully this time next year I’ll be eating double but still in the same shape

Then I’m sure I’ll be getting asked “How can you eat all that” 🙄

Believe it or not this is the hardest phase

There’s no imminent goal but you still need to be disciplined

Steps need to be high

Unfortunately there will still be some cardio, just not as much

But it’s all part of the journey 😘 ✌🏼
