A nurse swapped her XL sized scrubs for a small after shredding seven stone by walking 10,000 steps a day.<br/><br/>Samantha Abreu, 25, says she has always struggled with her weight and weighed 18st 1lb and was a size 22 at her heaviest.<br/><br/>She would often binge eat – filling up on toast and cereal after dinners – and hated exercise.<br/><br/>Samanatha struggled to get through her 10 hour nursing shifts due to exhaustion.<br/><br/>She worried she would end up like some of the elderly patients she saw who couldn’t get up after a fall.<br/><br/>During lockdown she started going for daily walks for her mental health and realised the exercise was a “blessing” for her mindset and body.<br/><br/>Slowly she started intuitively eating, decreasing her portions and dropped 7st 6lbs in a year.<br/><br/>Now a healthy 10st 9lbs and a size eight Samantha walks 10,000 steps a day, goes to the gym four days a week and feels “safe” in her body.<br/><br/>Samantha, a nurse, from Melbourne, Australia, said: “I worried about being old and not being able to get up after a fall.<br/><br/>“Growing up I always felt insecure.<br/><br/>“I couldn’t envision a future for myself.<br/><br/>“As I lost weight I still found myself reaching for XL scrubs but they started to feel too baggy and would get in the way.<br/><br/>“Now I feel comfortable and safe in my body.<br/><br/>\
