The former 'Big Brother' star dropped an impressive eight stone with the help of gastric sleeve surgery and whilst she has constantly struggled with her weight, she finally feels at a place where she can see herself as "worthy" and "good enough" after practicing positivity.
She wrote: "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'. 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. 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. (sic)"
Chanelle admits she isn't happy "every day" but is working to be as content as she can be.
She added in her post: "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 #loveyourself (sic)"
