Sophie: “It’s so hard to keep the weight off”
After losing 2st, pals say Sophie Kasaei is struggling to maintain her new figure
She showed off S the results of her impressive weight loss in January, after shedding 2st with a strict diet and fitness plan. But sources close to Sophie Kasaei – who went from a size 16 to a size 8 – say the star is frustrated after putting on half the weight she lost in the space of just two months.
The 28-year-old star – who split from long-term boyfriend Joel Corry, a bodybuilder, in September last year – was recently pictured looking curvier in a stripy red-and-white swimsuit on a beach near Australia’s Gold Coast, where she’s been filming scenes for MTV reality show Geordie Shore.
SLIPPERY SLOPE
And a pal tells Closer, “Sophie is really frustrated that the weight’s started to go back on, especially after all her efforts. She thinks she has put on about a stone. She hasn’t been anywhere near as strict with her diet and exercise and she can’t help feeling it’s the start of a slippery slope.
“Her body blitz gave her something to focus on, but now she’s finding it hard to keep it up.”
Sophie, who’s 5ft 2, slimmed down from 10st 9lbs to 8st 7lbs, dropping four dress sizes over a period of six months after embarking on the Fat Buster plan, which consists of healthy eating and supplements.
But during her time in Australia, she’s been pictured tucking into hearty, carb-laden meals.
A pal explains, “Her good intentions have gone out of the window and Sophie is back enjoying her guilty pleasures like bread, kebabs and chips. She’s also finding it hard to resist things like chicken nuggets, chocolates and sweets.
HARD WORK
“She knows it’s a downward spiral, but without the motivation of a specific goal, she’s finding it tough to stick to her healthy eating plan. She was thrilled to get down to a size 8, but says maintaining it was just too hard.
Earlier this year, Sophie
furiously hit back at trolls who accused her of having liposuction after they spotted a scar on her bum – with the star insisting it was a scar left over from when she had an abscess removed last year.
The source says, “Reading vile comments about her appearance is what spurred her on to shape up and get healthy in the first place – and she doesn’t want all her hard work to be for nothing.
“Her friends are telling her she still looks amazing, but Sophie is determined to put all her energy into getting back on track.”
