Son's query triggers 13st weight loss for mum Agnieszka Roguska
Son’s query triggers 13st weight loss for mum Agnieszka Roguska
Comments (0)
A mother-of-two lost 13 stone in just one year after she was left flabbergasted when her young son asked her why she was so fat.
Agnieszka Roguska, 32, tipped the scales at 23 stone after gorging on a diet of crisps, chips and super-sized meals.
But she decided to “get a grip” when her eight-year-old son Oliver, asked why her belly was so much bigger than other mothers. It was not until that moment she realised how out of control her weight had got.
Now, just one year later, Agnieszka has dropped down to a healthy ten stone, following a strict diet and a regular exercise routine.
Agnieszka, from Bristol, said: “I remembered facing this same situation when I was a child as my mum was bigger than other mums were.
“When I was a teenager, I remember other mums looking pretty and wearing nice clothes when my mum was hiding in the house from others with her weight problem.
“At that time I promised myself that I would never be like my mum. I wanted to be that pretty mum in nice clothes that he could be proud of.” Agnieszka’s weight rocketed to 23 stone after she prematurely gave birth to Oliver just 27 weeks – more than three months early.
Oliver remained in a neonatal intensive care unit for months where Agnieska relied on quick snacks between visits, but her weight gain left her confidence in tatters.
Shortly after Oliver returned home, Agnieszka’s marriage broke down and she began comfort eating, relying on super-sized meals and fatty snacks.
Full-time mum Agnieska, now divorced, added: “Oliver’s prognosis was not good and his stay in NICU took a huge emotional toll upon me.
“I did not have the time or the capacity to think or look after myself and this is when I began to put the weight on.
“When my son was aged one my relationship with his father broke down.
“Facing the end of my marriage was also extremely stressful and my weight continued to increase.” But after Oliver confronted her Agnieszka lost 13 stone in just 12 months and is determined to stay slim and fit.
Agnieszka has now been crowned slimmer of the year by Cambridge Weight Plan after she beat off more than 2,000 competitors for the accolade.
