One of the hardest obstacles for me was eliminating sugar

I half-arsed my healthy strategy some 20 or so years ago.

Nothing incentivised me to be healthy at all.

I suffered from allergies for most of my life, which is probably the only reason I ate certain foods & avoiding others.

Like anyone, I believed my diet was healthy.

I drank two large soy milk cappuccinos with four sugars at one stage.

That amount of sugar didn’t scratch the surface of my entire day’s intake!

I ignorantly believed sugar wasn’t that bad since I exercised a lot and ate alright; therefore, I should not experience any negative reactions.

Thankfully I did not — but only because I completely overhauled my lifestyle from age 32.

Ever since that moment, I haven’t looked back and still chip away at trying to improve my food intake.

I complain about how toxic the bodybuilding industry is, especially for women and their body image. I suffered a lot after my competitive run — and got fatter.
