1. She Changed Her Diet

Dawson is the daughter of late comedian Les Dawson, and after she became a mom in 2020, she had a lot of reflective thoughts. Dawson’s father died when she was eight months old, so when her son turned eight months, she began to worry about her health and that she wouldn’t be there for him, especially after she had a health scare. Dawson tells Fabulous Magazine that she decided to work with nutritionist, Jo Travers, to help change her diet. “She sorted my diet with foods that don’t spike my blood sugars,” Dawson said.

2. She Watches Her Portion Sizes

Dawson told Fabulous Magazine that one of the changes she made to her diet were the sizes of her portions. She says that she still enjoys her favorite foods, but in smaller sizes, which don’t mess with her diabetes. “I’ve still been eating meals I love, like spaghetti Bolognese, but the portion sizes are a lot smaller so I can stay within 1,500 calories,” she said.

3. She Indulges On Weekends

Dawson tells Fabulous Magazine that she does still indulge once in a while. However, she says that she saves said indulgences for the weekends, and eats healthy during the week. “Obviously the food has changed, but I’m honestly loving it. I still love my prosecco and fish and chips, but now I have it as a treat at the weekend.”

4. She Works Out On Vacations
