‘I’m constantly feeling tourist shamed when I overhear daily conversations of other peoples planned day trips!!! Hikes, excursions, stingray swimming, boat cruises, old ruins visits but @lincolntownley and I both have zero desire to do anything but eat, sunbathe, scroll, read novels , nap, eat, sleep repeat. 

‘We are horizontal for pretty much 2 weeks!!! Anyone else relate?? Should I feel guilty?? Curious.’

Last September Denise revealed therapy helped her maintain her weight loss. 

She reflected on her weight loss journey with an Instagram post as she compared a picture of herself in a ʙικιɴι in 2013 compared with a new swimsuit snap. 

Denise looked incredible as she recreated the pose by popping one hand on her hip and another on her sunglᴀsses. 

She penned: ‘Majorca 11 years apart. Thank you @lighterlife for helping me change my bad relationship with food and helping me to maintain weight loss with mentorship and CBT [cognitive behavioral therapy] tools I employ if I feel myself slipping,’

Denise followed the diet plan which includes shakes, daily food packs and cognitive behavioural therapy to try and curb her craving for sugar.

She previously revealed her weight gain was caused by binge eating sugary foods when she quit drinking for good in 2012.
