In this moving episode, Sandra welcomes Anna, a Slimpodder with a powerful story of self-discovery and change. Anna opens up about how unpacking childhood beliefs and emotional ties to food was the missing piece in her weight-loss puzzle. From dinner-time struggles to celebrating herself with "Queen Bee" plates, Anna shares how changing her mindset — not just her meals — helped her transform her relationship with food and reclaim her self-worth.

If you’ve ever felt like your eating habits are tied up with identity, emotions, or long-standing beliefs, this is the episode for you.

• How childhood patterns and “greedy genes” became Anna’s inner narrative

• The moment Anna realised portion sizes weren’t about fairness — but self-worth

• Why reframing dinner was a breakthrough (spoiler: beautiful plates were involved!)

• How a Queen Bee placemat became a symbol of self-love

• The role Slimpod played in uncovering emotional triggers

• Reaching her goal: fitting into her wedding suit after 25 years

• Why it’s not just about food and weight — but your whole self

• The freedom that comes from letting go of guilt, shame, and food obsession

• Her message to anyone feeling stuck: “Don’t be afraid of what you find under the bonnet — you can get past it.”

We discuss:

• How Abi went from snacking out of loneliness to feeling in control around food

• Why emotional eating stopped when she stopped feeling overwhelmed

• The surprising role of movement and joy in her transformation

• "Project Abi" — how treating her journey like a project changed everything

• Why goal mapping helped her stay focused and practical

• Running a 5K for charity — and wearing her medal with pride

• The power of consistency, self-trust, and doing what feels good
