Slimming World

About me

I guess my story starts two years ago:
 
I was working full time as a live television studio director. Long hours, lots of stress and a lot of responsibility. I really was working with the 'beautiful people'. On a day-to-day basis this never stopped me from doing my job. But I never really fitted in, I never socialised and I always made jokes about my size as I knew this would get a laugh.
 
But above all of that I was poorly. Everything from bad hair, skin and nails to severe abdominal pains when I ate.
 
I went to the doctors who advised me to lose weight and gave me a diet sheet which said don’t eat crisps, pastries and avoid sugary snacks! Humiliated and absolutely desperate, my boyfriend cheered me up with a two weeks, all inclusive holiday!
 
When my photos were developed I didn’t recognise the person staring back at me. As I started to walk back to the car, there in front of me was a sandwich board advertising a Slimming World group that day. The rest as they say is history.
 
In the last two years I have been on the most incredible weight loss journey and I have felt supported and cared for the whole way. I’d tried every diet going and always felt hungry but, at Slimming World, by using the power of Free Food and having a little of whatever I fancy every day, week by week, pound by pound I have lost an incredible 6 stones.
 
The final piece in the jigsaw came with Body Magic. I lost the majority of my weight without exercising, always feeling like I was too big to go to the pool or not fit enough to go the gym. But by following the principles of Body Magic just like Food Optimising I have made exercise a part of my everyday life and know that I will keep this weight off forever.
 
Just over a year into my weight loss I was invited along to an opportunities event. As soon as I walked in I felt the warmth and support that I always felt in group and knew that this was the job for me. So different to the environment I was working in at the time. I began my first group in September last year and opened my second group this January. I now am a Consultant full time and I’m making it my mission to tell everyone that if you follow Food Optimising 100% you will lose weight.
 
Come and join my group – we’d all love to see you, and support you on your weight loss journey.
