And while she’s thrilled with her incredible , the consequences of the weight loss – and the speed at which she’s lost it – has led to her requiring surgery.
Grace took to TikTok to share a video in which she hit out at influencers who hide their real bodies after losing weight, as she said she wanted to “show you something that’s really important”.
She then highlighted her body, while wearing a black top and joggers, as she explained that she’s heading to Lithuania next February for skin removal .
“I know what you’re thinking, why is she having skin removal surgery?” she said.
“I’m also having a breast uplift.”
She turned to the side to show that her boobs looked full and perky, while her stomach appeared flat and toned.
“But it’s not,” she continued.
“It’s an illusion and I’m going to show you it’s an illusion.
“And this is why it is so important not to compare yourself to people on this app.”
Grace then lifted up to show the loose skin on her stomach, as she said: “This top, it’s a tight top, it’s from H&M, but this is what’s underneath.
“Is it terrible considering I’ve lost 9 stone? No, it’s not.
“But what you see on this app from a lot of people is an illusion.
“It’s not real, it’s fake. We’ve got skin, we’ve got back fat…
“The average person who’s lost weight will look like this. Stop comparing yourself to people on this app because it is not real!”
“Not everyone will show you this side of their journey,” she wrote over the top of the video, before adding in the caption “Don’t believe everything you see on social media”.
And the comments section was immediately flooded with people thanking Grace for her honesty, with one writing: “THANK YOU for sharing this.
