I struggled with disordered eating for years and years, I used food as punishment,” she revealed.“Food was 95% of my daily thoughts, it absolutely consumed me.

There was never a meal that I wasn't so conscious of what I was eating and feeling guilty about. I really, really suffered for years.“If I look back at that young woman, I never in a million years would have believed that I would come as far as I have and be able to inspire other people, nor could I imagine that I’d be happy, confident and genuinely feel positive things about my body.”Sophie, from the UK, is no stranger to trolling, as she’s been called “obese” and told she’s promoting an unhealthy body image.She doesn’t let the haters get to her and has shared her tips on how others can focus on themselves.The 31-year-old also wants to give back and help people on their body acceptance journey like others have done for her.“I think you have to really understand that you're only on here once, this is what just changed my perspective on everything,” she said.“You are so much more than the way you look and the body that you're in.
