19.01.2022 How amazing does Yjasmine Bowman look?

06.01.2022 Yjasmine Bowman Consultant: Mandy Smith Weight loss: 90.1 kg I was a diet failure. Over the course of 15 years I tried nearly every diet available. With each diet failure came a gradual resignation that I would be overweight for the rest of my life.... I stopped attending my children's school events, as I didn't want them to feel embarrassed, and my family were concerned with the impacts my weight would have on my health. My daughter once told me that she was scared that I would die because of my weight. I went to a GP to ask for help, who ordered a blood test. The nurse couldn't find my vein and told me it because of my size. As I was leaving, she told me I was too young to be so overweight and it was likely I would die if I didn’t do something about it soon. I left feeling so humiliated...I never went back. In 2009, my very fit mum had a large brain aneurysm. Thankfully, she survived but now needs full time care. A couple of years later, my nanna also had a brain aneurysm and sadly passed away. After looking back at our family history, we discovered that my great grandmother had also died of a brain aneurysm. Our doctor strongly advised my sisters and I have a brain scan to ensure we were not at risk of the same. The clinic told me that if I was 150 kilos, I would not fit in the machine so would not be able to have to procedure done. I didn’t go. The day I met Mandy, was a defining moment. I was ashamed at the realisation that I had 90 kilos to lose and so overwhelmed by the road ahead. Undeterred Mandy looked me directly in the eye and said "you will do this" There was no might or maybe, it was 100% belief. Mandy took the time to understand who I really was, found out what my dreams were, what my struggles were, she met my family; she was a confidante and a friend. I now do heaps more with my children and they no longer carry the concern that their Mum is at risk of dying from something weight related. We do more as a family and enjoy being outdoors; doing the things I could never do before. I can shop anywhere I like and fit into any seat and seatbelt! And most importantly, whilst no one knows what we will face ahead of us, I now plan for a long future without any fear that I have disqualified myself from life. Oh - and by the way, I went for that CT scan last year and slid into the machine with plenty of room to spare! I also went to a different doctor who found the elusive vein and took some blood tests. My brain was declared healthy and I was complemented on my outfit as I was leaving the doctor's office. What a difference a year makes!
