Gemma previously revealed the four medical reasons why she has struggled to control her weight over the years and said she is not her size because is ‘always eating s**t’.
The influencer told MailOnline in an exclusive interview, that before she even tries to lose weight she had to deal with the gruelling hurdles of an underactive thyroid, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), metabolic syndrome and low iron levels.
She explained that she has always loved herself and she has never looked at her body and thought it was ‘disgusting’ but knew there came a time when she had to do something about it.
The TV personality said she will not spend her life being unhappy and skinny when she can carry on being her bubbly self while eating a bowl of garlic king prawns.
Gemma told MailOnline: ‘I’ve always loved myself. To be honest, I’ve never looked at myself and thought, ”Oh, I’m disgusting”. I mean, there’s always b******t I could do with losing a bit of weight.
‘But as I say, you know, I’m not going to spend my life being unhappy. I’ve got four things going against me before I’ve even started with PCOS, the underactive thyroid, and the metabolic syndrome.
‘You know, it’s all these things, but I’m constantly at a negative before I’m at a positive. I don’t let it get me down.

She said: ‘The Tana Ramsay news was the greatest thing to wake up to. Incredible.
‘It really made me think positively about my future and kind of took the pressure off. I don’t think anyone knew she was pregnant, so it was a lovely surprise, but I got butterflies in my stomach when I saw it.
‘This is amazing news for me. I’m starting my fertility journey within the next couple of weeks. I’m going to a clinic so watch these cards and get ready for me, honey.’
