Nelson has spoken about crash dieting to get in shape for a music video, and vows never to do that again. “On the day of the Sweet Melody video I had a panic attack on set because I didn’t look how I wanted to look and I found it so hard to just be happy and enjoy myself.” she says. “I was sobbing in the dressing room. Someone really close to me said, ‘This has got to stop. You can’t keep doing this to yourself. You’re going to end up where you were before.’ For me that was the pinnacle point. I was like, ‘I need to start taking care of myself now because this isn’t healthy.’ It wasn’t nice for the other three to be around someone who didn’t want to be there.”

2. She Loves Boxing

Nelson regularly incorporates boxing into her workouts. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," says physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

3. She Loves a Cheeky Nandos

Nelson is a big fan of South African fast-casual chain Nandos, which specializes in chicken dishes. “Baked chicken serves as a rich source of protein,” says Sylvie Tremblay, MSc. “A 4-ounce serving of chicken leg meat contains 27.5 grams of protein, while an equivalent serving of baked chicken breast contains 35 grams. You use this protein as a source of amino acids, which help maintain your tissues and allow you to heal after injury. A 4-ounce serving of baked chicken counts as 4 ounce equivalents of protein, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture food guide, and helps you reach the 5 ounces recommended daily for women or 6 ounces for men.”

4. She Practices Body Positivity

Nelson is honest about her looks, telling fans appearances can be misleading. "I always get a lot of people comment on my abs in photos but I promise you I actually don't have abs lol,” she says. “I'm very lucky that when I breath in for [my pictures] I get these weird little indents that come sometimes look like I have abs. Anyway I'm here to tell you I DONT have abs ladies and this is what my chocolate loving belly really looks like. I'll never ever be a size 8 which is genuinely what I dreamt of being, but I've come to terms with the fact that I bloody love my food and that will never change."

5. She Accepts Her Unique Body

Nelson has made it clear she will never follow the restrictive and damaging weight-loss methods she tried earlier on in her career. Instead, she appreciates the changes her body goes through. "We're all different shapes and sizes and that's what makes us unique,” she says. “I'll never sit here and preach and say I love my body because I don't, but I'm slowly starting to just accept it for what it is and sometimes I'm gonna put on weight and sometimes I'm gonna go to the gym and lose it, either way girlies one day we will be really old and look back at our pics and think god I was actually banging why did I worry so much. Anyway I'm rambling on now but you're all beautiful in your own ways and I hope you all know that."

Jesy is very open about her struggles with body image and self acceptance. In an Instagram post she revealed that she is working on loving herself more. "I'll never sit here and preach and say I love my body, because I don't, but I'm slowly starting to just accept it for what it is," Nelson wrote. "Sometimes I'm gonna put on weight, and sometimes I'm gonna go to the gym and lose it, either way girlies, one day we will be really old and look back at our pics and think 'god I was actually banging, why did I worry so much.' Anyway I'm rambling on now, but you're all beautiful in your own ways, and I hope you all know that,” she wrote.

2. She Gets Physical

During an interview with BBC's Bitesize, Nelson revealed that she likes to add new physical activities to keep her body and mind stimulated. "Concentrating on something else can give your mind a break from worrying. Doing something active can release endorphins and remind you how amazing your body is. Because it really is amazing," she said.

3. She Loves Boxing

Jesy told Glamour that she has one go-to workout. "Boxing is my absolute favourite, I love it because it makes me feel like I'm not exercising." "The art and dance of boxing has long been kept to the sidelines in program design, but the science supporting its health benefits when incorporated into a fitness regimen is growing. In addition to improving overall strength, power, cardiorespiratory health and hand-eye coordination, there is also promising research that boxing can help people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease cope with their balance and coordination," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Maintains a Balanced Diet

Jesy triest to eat as healthy as possible, but will indulge on occasion. When she does, she will hit the gym. "When I start feeling rank, when I know I've indulged too much, then I start exercising," she told Glamour. "We all love our junk food."

5. She Hydrates

Jesy hydrates, but with Diet Coke! "Take this water and hydrate," she captioned a photo of herself in a swimsuit sipping on a can. "About 50-75% of your weight is water! Getting enough fluid in your diet is important for everything in your body to work well and be healthy, including your heart, digestion, brain, muscles and skin. Fluids deliver nutrients to your cells, maintain a balance of nutrients, and remove wastes from your body,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Good hydration supports normal energy levels, decreases risk of kidney stones, prevents constipation, and is associated with a reduction in urinary tract infections, high blood pressure, fatal heart disease and stroke.”

6. She Is Finally Happy

After struggling for many years, Jesy opted to leave Little Mix in 2020 and maintains it was great for her mental health. "I'm happy," she told Glamour. "I'm hand-on-heart happy for the first time in years. I used to say I was – even up until recently – but not really feel it. Now I'm a 10 out of 10 happy – maybe nine out of 10 some days – but it's just these past few months that I've actually felt it. The main reason for that is because I've taken control over my life and I've looked after myself. That's the most important thing you can do and that's what I've done. I know this feeling is real because my mum sees it, my sister sees it."

Jossa opened up about her wellness routine to Heatworld. She says that she always makes time for herself to relax.

Jossa has amazing skin. She tells Heatworld that one of her secrets is using a facial mist. "I use this every other day,” Jossa says. “This is like the face mist from my BPerfect range (£12.95), but honestly it's the best thing I've ever been a part of, I absolutely love it. You know like when you come up with something new and you hope it's good? This is actually a game-changer for me, because you wake up looking like you've just been on holiday. I literally just spray it before I go to bed.”
