Amy Childs has been seen out and about just days after she opened up about the reason behind her dramatic weight loss and cancelling her upcoming wedding
Amy Childs has stepped out after revealing the sad reason behind her ongoing weight loss. The reality star who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex recently sparked concern amongst her fans due to her appearance, but has since opened up on the truth behind it.
The 34-year-old has shed two stone in recent months and has been very open about her transformation and the secret heartache she has been enduring behind the scenes. Earlier this week, the mum-of-four headed out in Brentwood, Essex, as she ran some errands.
Amy looked sensational in a brown tracksuit while removing a parking ticket from her large black SUV. She completed her look with chunky platform beige sandals, as the nation enjoyed a recent stream of hot air over the past few weeks.
Her brunette hair was styled into loose natural waves, flowing freely over her shoulder and down her back as she clung onto a green bag while going about her day, with her car keys in her hand. Notably, Amy’s engagement ring was not on her finger, but sources have since insisted that she only took it off to attend the gym.
Fans of Amy have recently been left divided, while some have been concerned, others have been impressed, explaining that she looked like a “different person.” But Amy herself has spoken openly about her weight loss journey over the past few months. But Amy has also been subjected to cruel trolling from online users over her new look.
“People don’t know what is going on behind closed doors,” she bravely opened up to the Mirror. She went on to add: “I’m going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. She’s very emotional – she thinks she’s going to have another heart attack.”
The reality star went on to explain that while some have voiced concerns for her, she’s not worried about herself. She said: “People think I’m not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I’m a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There’s so much going on at the minute – it’s the result of pure stress.
“We’re also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids. But I’m strong, I’ve been in this industry for 15 years, I’ve had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.”
She later went on to slam the “unfair” criticism of her appearance on social media, admitting she had been open about losing too much weight and is now working to gain weight.
While some critics have questioned whether she is using medication to lose weight, she explained she’s not and has only tried them once, around 18 months ago. But the medication, often used to treat serious health issues, left her extremely unwell, and she was throwing up for three days.
“It scared me, so I stopped immediately,” she stressed. Prior to using the jab, Amy had a half-hour consultation with a private doctor who checked her weight and blood pressure before she was prescribed the lowest dosage of the medication. However, her fiancé, Billy, said he felt as though she didn’t need the medication.
But Amy insisted she wanted to “look amazing” for her wedding day and wanted to lose weight after giving birth to her twins. “It’s not the reason for my weight loss,” she insisted as she hit back at the claims.
Since then, she has undergone a strict healthy eating routine and gruelling workouts to lose weight in a more natural way and is having regular consultations with a weight loss coach based in Dubai.
