Started in November 2023 when I plucked up the courage to walk through the doors of my local Slimming World group. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve dieted all my life. Tried endless fads but none really stuck or I was so hungry I broke.
Walking through that door….It’s one of the most daunting experiences have had to date. The stigma around weight loss groups is high. Not everyone has the perfect body, some just need a little help. I know I need the accountability of a weight loss group.
As soon as walked through that door the consultant was there. Guiding me through every step of the way. Introducing me to some of the people in group so I didn’t feel alone.
I thought, like everyone else does. That it would be a shaming, guilting you into losing weight. How wrong I was! The consultant was backing me from the get go. If you didn’t want to say what you lost or gained it didn’t matter. The fact that you were there and were trying was the point. The help and support of both the consultant and the rest of the group was overwhelming.
49lb lighter in 11 months
I can’t believe that it works, even though I’ve lost so much already. I am never hungry. It took a bit of thinking about meals when I first started but now it’s a second nature. I’m loving it.
I had two weeks in the USA in the middle of this journey. Yes, the land of burgers, hotdogs, pancakes…excess!!! I came back and had only put on 1/2lb. Yes I had whatever I fancied but didn’t go over board and made sure there was plenty of body magic going on.
I prep on a Sunday with meals for the week. Because of early starts at work, I take my breakfast with me and my pre-made lunch. Tea time being a light meal when I get home. Winging it doesn’t work. You will head to that sandwich van or the cakes that your colleagues wife made and sent in.
As they say: Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. 😜
Now the journey carries on as I get into better shape. With the help of my community gym, BorneFit.
I hope I help someone make that first step to getting help by reading this.
Remember, life is a journey or a story. One that only you can guide or tell!
Now with the Christmas season over and a few lb’s heavier I’m looking forward to 2025 and all that comes with it!
Love n hugs y’all!
