<\/p>\nA MUM has told how she\u2019s so happy with her toned pins that she even wears high heels to go grocery shopping.<\/p>\n
Bikini fitness competitor Katarzyna Szumielewicz, 36, has enjoyed a huge glow-up since falling in love with the gym eight years ago.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
The super fit swimming instructor has never felt more confident and now takes any opportunity to strut her stuff.<\/p>\n
Katarzyna, from Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, says: \u201cI wear a lot of high heels because I think my legs look great.<\/p>\n
\u201cI walk to Lidl in high heels and whenever I\u2019m going shopping.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care what people think. I\u2019ve learned how to walk in high heels for competitions and I love how they make my legs look<\/p>\n
\u201cBikini fitness is always about legs and glutes and hamstrings.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m super proud of my legs\u201d<\/p>\n
She adds: \u201c My husband says that when we walk in the shop people are watching us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I wear a dress and high heels people stare but I don\u2019t care.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m focused on myself and my shopping basket.\u201d<\/p>\n Katarzyna gets up at 4.30am as part of her strict exercise regime and has landed medals at several bikini fitness events.<\/p>\n She first got into fitness after going from a size 12 to size six when she felt like she was out of shape.<\/p>\n And her children are her biggest cheerleaders, regularly complimenting her looks and efforts.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cMy kids are proud of me, I think it's important especially for girls to know that you can have a job, a family and still follow your dreams.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cMy daughter keeps telling me that I look better than other mums from school.<\/p>\n \u201cI know I look good but stage image is also scored so hair, make-up and skin condition is important.<\/p>\n \u201cI have to care about how I look.\u201d<\/p>\n But Katarzyna has also faced nasty comments from strangers over her appearance.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople say that I look tired all the time and like I\u2019m not eating enough\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/GettyImages-156208173jpg-JS325118139-1.jpg\")
