Vrouw valt extreem veel af om op Cheryl Fernandez-Versini te lijken

De 26-jarige Hannah Hindmarsh wilde zo erg op X-Factor jurylid Cheryl Fernandez-Versini lijken, dat ze extreme maatregelen trof om haar doel te bereiken. Hannah leefde op gortdroge crackers met ham en tabasco en door haar ongezonde levensstijl verloor ze ruim 40kg, maar duurde niet lang of er werd boulimia geconstateerd bij Hannah…

Paniekaanval

Hannah werd met spoed naar het ziekenhuis gereden toen ze na een paniekaanval in elkaar stortte. Ze moest maanden in het ziekenhuis onder toezicht blijven, en na alle behandelingen begon ze weer gezond te eten. Ze schreef zich zelfs in bij een sportschool. ‘Ik was erg onzeker’, vertelt ze aan de Britse krant Mirror. ‘Ik was zo wanhopig en ik wilde zo graag zo slank en zo mooi zijn als Cheryl dat het heel snel escaleerde. Ik dwong mezelf over te geven als ik had gegeten, vooral als ik weer een vreetkick had. Ik was bang voor zuivel, wit brood en pasta omdat dat in mijn  ogen de boosdoeners waren. Ik beperkte mijn calorie-inname enorm en ik wendde zelfs tot laxeermiddelen, omdat ik me op die manier veel slanker voelde.’

Back on track

Nu is Hannah weer volledig hersteld en ze deelt haar transformatie op Instagram om mensen te motiveren en ze de gevaren van extreme diëten te laten zien. ‘In de afgelopen zeven jaar zijn er ongelooflijke dieptepunten voor mij geweest. Ik hoop dat ik veranderingen kan brengen in de levens van jonge vrouwen en ik hoop ze te kunnen inspireren. Dat zou mij zo trots maken.’

#TransformationTuesday What else can I say that I haven’t already said? Only you have the power to make the change, nothing & no one else, it’s all on you. You’ve either got what it takes or you haven’t. Do you really want it enough? If you do, you can have it all unexpected things are always going to happen throughout life and at the end of the day all you really have is you and the only control you really have is over yourself! Believe in yourself, set yourself goals, live by your morals and your standards, stay true to your beliefs and stand by your self worth life goes on regardless just make sure you’re living yours for you and nobody else.

My new fav exercise is Bulgarian Squats, body weight or with dumb bells ~ both incredibly effective. 2016 will be the year of how big can I grow my behind don’t waste your time wishing for smaller hips, longer legs, a flatter stomach.. Just make the best of what you’ve already got

#MotivationalMonday such a difficult time of year to remain focused, 24/7 battle between throwing caution to the wind and eating everything and trying to stay on track with training & food! I’m an advocate for living a life of balance and what with it being the season to be jolly, I’ll be indulging just like everyone else however over the years I’ve almost trained myself to listen to my body! When undergoing CBT for bulimia I talked a lot about my immense fear of having a full stomach, the feeling of being stuffed full of food absolutely terrified me and to some extent, still does. What my consultant explained to me was that it really is just that.. A feeling.. Nothing more, nothing less. Just like we feel other emotions. However without taking it to extremes you can avoid exposing yourself to your fears by listening to yourself, ask yourself if you’re hungry, whether eating another slice of cake is necessary will another 10 Quality Street chocolates on top of the previous 10 you’ve just eaten do more harm than good to not only your progress but your mentality. Food can be so hard for so many of us, I’m an emotional eater, I’ll eat when happy or stressed or I’ll do the opposite and not eat. I know people may read this and think “just let go and enjoy yourself” etc, & don’t worry about me, I most certainly will & whilst I appreciate the input, one must understand that regulating my brain and my body to remain healthy and to make sensible choices is a bloody constant battle every single day, Christmas or no Christmas and whilst I understand that I may be an extreme and that not all of us are this regimental ~ this is my way, my journey and my life. I do what I can to remain stable, physically and mentally! This is just a reminder to those who may snub others who make the choice to stick on plan where they can over the festive season.. We are all just doing our best.

#ThrowBackThursday ~ Felt a bit fuzzy round the edges lately, due to falling out of a consistent gym routine since starting my new job(!) it’s no biggy though, after checking progress in the mirror this morning ^^^ I see things aren’t so bad, our minds can be evil sometimes. Life has a way of evening itself out so all we need to do is make sensible choices when and where we can as well as remembering to enjoy life especially at this time of year! Here’s to making sure we remain balanced and well rounded.. Just not too round #TBT
