Beautician who gorged on seven takeaways a WEEK and tipped the scales at 20st drops five dress sizes after becoming 'determined' to transform her life after lockdown
- Sinead McCarthy, 31, from Barrhead, near Glasgow ate a takeaway a night
- She also snacked on a family-size chocolate bar, reaching 20 stone
- Said she hated how she looked and was jealous of her clients who did self-care
- Now weighs 13 stone and is a size 12 and no longer avoids looking in mirrors
A beautician who gorged on seven takeaways a week has turned her life around and lost 7st in just 18 months.
Sinead McCarthy, 31, from Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, tipped the scales at 20st during the first lockdown and said she felt 'disgusting' after eating family-sized chocolate bars every night.
But mother-of-one Sinead was desperate to make a change and joined up with a coach who has helped her trim down from a size 22 to a 12.
She committed to a diet plan eating 1,700 calories a day, began weightlifting in the gym, and has now transformed her life.
Self-employed Sinead said: 'The weight piled on gradually for a few years, I didn't really see how bad it was until it was too late.
'I was having loads of takeaways, at least five a week but sometimes seven, and they were enough to two people.
'My snacking was out of control too, I wouldn't eat normal sized chocolate bars it would have the big family sized ones.'
She added that she felt 'disgusting' and very unhappy with her appearance.
She would also avoid mirrors and refused to have her hair done or wear make-up because she didn't see the point.
Yet - despite her difficulties - 18 months ago, Sinead began taking steps to transform her life.
She said: 'I started out with a personal trainer at the gym and then I signed up for a coach who wrote a programme for me in the gym and a nutritional plan.
'I do weightlifting in the gym nearly seven days a week now and make sure to get some cardio done too.
'The first workout I did was horrific, two minutes in I thought I was going to pass out and had to sit down, it was so hard.
'But I was determined to get the weight off and change my life.'
Sinead now has a newfound confidence after slimming to down to under 13st.
Instead of take-aways, she now eats protein packed meals and she says going to LIFT Glasgow gym seven days has transformed her life.
'The gym has become more of a mental thing for me now because it makes me feel so good and sets me up for the day,' she said.
'I don't restrict myself anymore if I want to have a cake I will have one because one cake is not going to ruin all the work I have done.
'It's like a physical and mental weight has been lifted off me now. I wake up glad to be here now, before it was such a struggle getting up every day.
'I lost myself for a few years, all my friends really noticed it and now they will say it's so nice to have the real me back.
'It's been a complete life transformation for me. I feel like I am just starting to live my life now which is incredible. I have a newfound confidence and freedom in my life like never before.'
