  • This is The Guardian.

  • Today, what happens when you come off weight loss jabs?

  • I've always been a curvy girl.

  • My whole life I've been a curvy girl.

  • And I kind of settled on the fact that that was just the card I was dealt and didn't matter how much I worked out,

  • I would always be a bit bigger.

  • This is Amy Young.

  • She's a 38 year old career coach who lives in Kent.

  • She didn't actually mind being overweight.

  • So I've always been obnoxiously body confident.

  • I'll be really honest about that.

  • And I kind of have to be in my line of work as well

  • because I talk about this all the time with people.

  • As her life got busier, her weight crept up.

  • I'd stopped exercising, I'd fallen out of love with that,

  • and it had had other kind of effects on my life as I got more stressed,

  • I got bigger, suffered burnout, all kinds of stuff.

  • She started to feel heavy.

  • What changed for me is towards the end of last year I started to notice that I had really creaky knees,

  • so I'd go upstairs, you know, I'm only 38.
