In this powerful and deeply relatable episode of The Weight’s Over, Sandra speaks with Sally-Anne, who spent over 20 years in the obese category and had been dieting since she was 16. After decades of trying everything — from the cabbage diet to the skinny jab — she finally broke free from diet culture with Slimpod. Now two dress sizes down, with a whole new mindset and a renewed love for movement, Sally-Anne shares the honest truth about what finally worked.
We discuss:
Sally-Anne’s 28-year battle with dieting — and how she never reached her goal, even on her wedding day
The emotional toll of daily weigh-ins and why the scales "held her hostage" for years
How Slimpod changed her habits from day one, starting with less snacking and slower eating
The freedom of ditching diets — and the end of brutal self-talk and emotional sabotage
Dropping from a size 18+ to a size 14 — and how it feels to finally wear a dress she bought 4 years ago
Why measuring success through clothes and tape (not scales) kept her motivated
The shift from "I have no willpower" to “I believe I can” — and how Slimpod rewired her mindset
Her new love of exercise — from walking more to returning to tap dancing after 30 years
Discovering "instinctive intermittent fasting" without effort or denial
Setting her next goal: reaching size 12 — something she’s never achieved in her adult life
How kindness, confidence, and consistency became her new tools for success
