After her partner’s murder, a mother of three reveals that she’s headed into a deep, dark downward spiral. The beautiful mother admits she felt “too lost with no real direction” and dealing with this tragedy made her ignore her own health.

“My life changed forever on that day in 2016. Naturally, I had been feeling sad for a very long time, had no motivation or direction, and the days seemed to roll into one,” The Brisbane-based mom confesses.

“Shock and sadness made my weight spiral out of control. I went from a healthy, healthy weight of 80kg to 115kg in just six months. I was just following the movements, and didn’t think about what I was eating. I found it very difficult to work. I was only ‘exist’ at that point in my life.”

A common side effect of bereavement is emotional eating, and while some people lose their appetite after the death of a loved one, Miranda says she has become emotional eaters.

“My eldest son from my ex-partner who we tragically lost in 2016, when he was murdered. Then I met my current partner in mid-2017 who is also a widow and was raising his son,” Miranda says.

“Now we’ve lost 2 together. I was really unhealthy when I got pregnant, and I still use eating and drinking to get over the sadness and trauma, but growing another human made me take care of my body and saw me lose 12kg during pregnancy.

“After her birth I knew I was accepted back to take care of myself but I was a little lost and was looking for some support I found the healthy mummy while breastfeeding and thought well I was going to do this and ordered my first smoothie tub then I joined about two weeks later and never looked back (June 11, 2019)”.
