Instagram star laughs: “I know unds crazy but I’ll look at old ctures of myself and be my own motivation rather than striving to be like someone else. “I’ll look at videos of myself and think, ‘I can’t wait to get back to that.’ You can only compare yourself to the best you can be.”
But that confidence in herself has been hard-earned.
“I’m softer on myself than I used to be,” says Kate. “As women we always have days where we don’t feel good.
“I feel much more confident but I think I will always have days where I’m not 100%. But I don’t let that affect my overall mood.”
Kate says she loves chocolate, sweets and Chinese takeaways but just eats them in moderation.
“I try to make it a lifestyle rather than a diet,” she adds. “If I fancy some wine gums I will have them – I just won’t eat three packs.
“My life revolves around the next meal. I go, ‘What’s for lunch?’ and Rio goes, ‘We’ve just had breakfast, Kate.’ But I enjoy eating.
“When I was younger, I tried every fad diet and it would always end up with me bingeing at the end and being unhappy because I’ve gained double the weight. Now it’s not about the weight – it’s about how I feel.”
Kate also has some more recently learned advice as a wife and stepmother to Rio’s three kids.
“Just make some time for you,” she says. “I always get caught up in trying to make other people happy.
“But don’t always worry about everyone else all the time – you need to make yourself happy.”
