She's Building Confidence

Sugden opened up about how her career started to Women Fitness. She says that her job is a way of building self-confidence for her. "I massively lacked in confidence. I held myself like a person that lacked confidence too.. Skulking around, saying nothing, and minding my own business. My boyfriend at the time thought it would be a nice idea to help boost my confidence and paid for me to have a set of professional pics taken. Make up done, hair done. The works. From that I just tried my luck one day and emailed Samantha Bond – which, at the time, was one of the country's leading 'glamour' agencies, and miraculously I got signed up. From then on, my confidence skyrocketed, and I finally found happiness in myself, which I didn't have before."

Sugden opened up about her wellness secrets in her Women Fitness interview. She says that she believes in eating a balanced diet. "Nutrition is my downfall. Crisps are my weakness. I don't think it is sustainable for me to cut out snacks and treats. I wouldn't stop myself from having what I want, I just try and have it in moderation. If I feel the urge to have something unhealthy, I will just make up for it the day after by eating healthy.

She's Real On Social Media

Sugden is all about being authentic, especially on social media. She tells Women Fitness that she doesn't like to post a lot of retouched or edited photos on her pages. "Social media puts a lot of pressure on women these days, keeping it real is the way forward," she says. "I am more than happy to post pics of me with a little pot belly after a heavy weekend. I think it is refreshing for people to show un airbrushed/retouched images – they aren't real life and aren't something that should be aspired too."

She Loves Pilates
