"I'm so happy my thighs touch" - why @maymah.lifts celebrates going up a size

You can’t be what you can’t see. So Maymah became the athlete she never saw growing up.

Maymah started going to the gym because she was bored waiting to start university. But then she fell in love with it. It empowered her to rebuild her relationship with food and movement after years spent battling anorexia. Now she’s a Gymshark athlete.

Trigger warning: in this episode Maymah opens up about her experience of an eating disorder.

If this conversation brings anything up for you, there is support available:

The Butterfly Foundation is Australia’s national charity for people impacted by eating disorders and body image issues. Free & confidential support is available at 1800 33 4673 between 8am – midnight

In the episode Maymah speaks with Steph & Laura about her eating disorder and how a crisis meeting with her school and mum brought her out of it, the anxiety she felt stepping into a gym wearing a headscarf for the first time, how she trains during Ramadan when she can’t eat or drink between sunrise and sunset, and becoming a role model for Muslim women in fitness.
