A woman was motivated to lose seven stone after an outfit she wore for her hen party made her feel like big bird".

Sarah Burke, 29, from Cork, decided to drop the stones seven years ago.

She explained: I went on a hen about seven years ago with a yellow theme and I remember thinking - Im a size 22/24; where am I going to get something yellow?

I tried on my dress and my nana was like is that a joke? I had to wear it and it actually haunts me to this day!

After losing the bulk of the weight, Sarah was delighted when she fell pregnant with her son Luke, and although others worried she may put the weight back on, she knew she was determined to stay on track, RSVP Live reports.

When I fell pregnant everyone was like you just lost the weight and now youre going to put the whole lot back on, so it did take away from it but I worked really hard during the pregnancy.

I gained two stone in the pregnancy and I lost that when he was six weeks old. I was in such fear of going back to a 22/24 there was no way I was doing it to myself. The fact that people were commenting on it as well like when you tell people youre pregnant theyre meant to say congratulations - but people were worried for me.

But Sarah didnt use her pregnancy as an excuse to throw in the towel and the birth of her son Luke only motivated her further.

Having Luke definitely motivated me. With Slimming World being self-employed its up to you how much you earn, your groups can be as small or big as you want and of course I wanted to provide Luke with as much as I could.

But Sarahs admits that self love is so much more than just reaching your target weight.

I think when people think about losing weight we all think its going to fix everything and make you much happier.

"I would have been very bubbly and outgoing before and as I lost the weight I actually became quieter. I had a lot of loose skin and things like that. So yes I feel better in myself health-wise but theres a lot of things I want to work on for myself as well.

When youre on your own with a three-year-old and they go to bed it is lonely like youre just sitting there at night, so thats when my energy goes into what Im going to do to benefit myself more than just sit there and eat crap."

This decision to lose wight would not only lead to a complete lifestyle change for Sarah but it also kick started her career as a consultants with Slimming World after her own incredible eight stone weight-loss.

My best advice to anyone starting their weight-loss journey would be that its one day at a time, and no two days are the same. Some days youll be amazing and some days you mightnt be but thats okay.

"I am driven, but some days I have to drag myself up to do it. But its a case of if I dont do it, its not going to benefit me. If I eat crap for a day I just get up the next day and treat it as nothing, otherwise itll go on and on.

You need to control the food rather than the food controlling you. So just get in control of the food and just go with every single day as best as you can - and dont give up cause giving up wont get you anywhere.

Sarah was due to tie the knot last month, and when the relationship broke down, even through all of this she is still a bundle of positivity and motivation.

I actually was due to get married last month but the relationship ended. I had surgery scheduled for the skin on my stomach and breasts but I had put it off because we wanted more kids but now that thats gone the opposite way Im going to get the surgery done.
