Chanelle Hayes has admitted that she is the 'most content' that she has ever felt about her weight after she lost almost eight stone.
The 33-year-old ex Big Brother star, who shot to fame when she appeared on the show in 2007, penned a candid post as she reflected on how she was neither happy being too skinny or too large.
Taking to social media on Thursday, the reality star looked radiant as she posed in front of a tropical wall that was decorated with a neon sign that said 'hot stuff'.
Alongside the collection of snaps, Chanelle admitted that she didn't feel good enough when she slimmed down to a tiny size 6.
In her empowering post, Chanelle also added that she was 'grateful' to finally have her life back, even though she still has bad moods and negative days.
"I’ve realised over the past few years that I am what I tell myself I am. When I was bigger, I thought of myself as “ugly”, “the funny, fat friend”, “not worthy”, “disgusting”," Chanelle wrote.
"But even when I was a size 6, weighing under 7 stone I still felt not good enough and was constantly comparing myself to others who were that bit prettier or thinner, smarter or more popular. I don’t confess to be magically “fixed” and to hold the secrets to learning to being happy all of the time.
She added: "But every single day since 1st August 2020 I have told myself I am good enough, I am smart enough, I am pretty enough, I am HOT STUFF.
"I don’t care whether anybody agrees, I compete only with myself and achieve only for myself. I’m not happy everyday, I have bad moods and negative days but I am the most content with myself I have ever been in my life. I hate these kind of posts preaching to people and I’m not bragging, I am just so grateful that I feel like I’ve got my life back again. #selflove," Chanelle concluded.
Chanelle has been on quite the transformative journey after she underwent a gastric sleeve operation.
She them slimmed down from 17st 4lbs to 9st 10lbs.
Just last month, Chanelle revealed that she was set to undergo a full body lift to pull up and remove loose skin that has accumulated because of her weight loss.
Speaking to Closer magazine about her changing body, the television star admitted that she was looking forward to the procedures.
