Amy Childs has shared before and after snaps of her weight gain after skinny jabs caused her to plummet to just 7st.The TOWIE star, 36, saw her physique change dramatically after she tried the injections and was left stressed due to her mum Julie's ill health.Earlier this year, Amy, who tied the knot with Billy Delbosq this summer, detailed how a vicious cycle of 'yo-yo dieting' left her lacking body confidence.But she has since been working with nutritionist and trainer Jon Kirk to get back to a healthy weight and to make her body stronger.In a new post on Saturday she was displaying her weight gain in two comparison bikini snaps but said she still had a 'long way to go'. She penned: 'So guys first of all, absolutely no hate please... On the left, this was when I was still struggling to gain weight and control my nutrition.'On the right – this is my current physique, after Jon's patience in really helping me gain some weight. I have been very honest about my process… Amy Childs has shared before and after snaps of her weight gain after 'skinny jabs' caused her to plummet to just 7st It comes after last month Amy shared a duo of racy bikini snaps from her wedding day while reflecting on her body journey 'I've still got a long way to go with putting weight on and building the physique I want.'The lead-up to the wedding was stressful, and I definitely felt it... But honestly, working with @jonkirk_lastdiet has been one of the best investments I've made. Jon has taught me so much about nutrition, fitness and fuelling my body properly!!'So I've decided it's no longer about dieting or just focusing on the scales. It's about health, strength and performance☺️'I'm still learning, still working hard and still have goals to reach, but I'm finally enjoying the process. One step at a time❤️.'Last month Amy shared a duo of racy bikini snaps from her wedding day while reflecting on her body journey.She looked sensational in a skimpy white two-piece complete with a strapless top and high-rise bottoms to display her lithe frame. In the caption, Amy paid tribute to Jon, saying: 'He keeps me very accountable and challenges me.' In the caption, she wrote: 'So as you all know people have doubted me on my physique journey, but seeing this picture of me on my wedding day makes me realise how far I've actually come... '@jon_jkphysique and I have been working so hard on my nutrition, he keeps me very accountable and challenges me, that's his style… The TOWIE star, 36, saw her physique change dramatically after she tried skinny jabs and was left stressed due to her mum Julie's ill health Amy is mum to Polly, nine, Ritchie, eight, and also shares twins Milly and Billy, three, with Billy (seen together)'Seeing the results makes me happy. It's not about being skinny, it's about feeling healthy, happy and confident in myself, if you need help please message Jon...'So proud of how far I've come and we're only just getting started. The morning of my wedding this picture was taken.' Amy has previously told how she struggled to lose weight healthily before getting help from Jon who has built up her strength and taught her about the right foods to eat.A few months ago she shared three snaps of herself at various points in her weight journey as she got candid about her relationship with dieting.Amy penned in her post: 'Time to be really honest with you all. For as long as I can remember… I thought I was doing everything right. I'd diet, cut things out, push myself… and yet I'd always end up back in the same place.'I was definitely not happy with how I looked and, honestly, not happy with how I felt either, I was dieting all wrong. I wasn't managing my nutrition properly. I wasn't managing my energy. And I definitely wasn't looking after my health the way I thought I was.'I'd under-fuel, stress, lose a bit of weight, then it would all come back and I'd start the whole thing again. I was in that yo-yo cycle that so many of us get stuck in… that was me.'What I didn't understand was that it's not just about 'eat less, move more'. There's so much more to it… the different phases, your mindset and actually making it work around your real life. Since working with Jon, that's what has changed everything for me.'I have learnt SO much and I'm still learning every single day. My food has improved, I feel stronger and I can see changes in my body, my skin and my strength.'My shoulders have actually built tissue (so random) which is something I never thought I'd be saying. I feel stronger, I feel more confident and, for the first time, I don't feel like I'm stuck in that diet, lose, regain cycle anymore.'I'm nowhere near finished. This is still very much a work in progress. But it's my journey and it finally feels like I'm heading in the right direction, with proper support behind me.'If you've felt stuck like I did… I promise there is another way speak to @jon_jkphysique he is the best ☺️.'Back in May, Amy explained that her beloved mum, Julie, had a heart attack last year which contributed to her weight loss, but she also tried skinny jabs for a brief spell.'Prior to this I did try skinny jabs I'll be honest with you. I thought to try to lose that little extra baby weight. I was still training and eating healthy, but I wanted that little quick fix. I think I did it for two weeks. I was so ill - I cannot tell you,' Amy revealed.Amy is mum to Polly, nine, Ritchie, eight, and twins Milly and Billy, three.
