About me
 
I’d been ignoring that I was overweight for a few years by blaming the fact that I was having to buy bigger and bigger clothes. I never stopped going out and socialising but my size was really getting me down as I couldn’t wear young, fashionable clothes.
 
My friend introduced me to Slimming World and when I left my first Slimming World meeting as a member, I felt a kind of freedom - having made the important decision to change my attitude towards food and eating. This freedom extended into my social life. I was able to enjoy going out again & I felt like a ‘normal’ friend again, not a ‘fat friend’ and certainly not restricted by any unrealistic rules. I still enjoy drinking vodka a couple of times per week and when a special occasion comes up, I use Slimming World’s unique ‘Flexible Syns’!
 
As time progressed and I was being very successful following the eating plans, I decided I wanted to share Food Optimising with other people and spread the happiness and confidence losing weight has given me, by becoming a Consultant.
 
I enjoy seeing the delight on my members’ faces when they see for themselves how easy & fulfilling it really is following Food Optimising! The reward for me is seeing these people change, in size and shape, over time.
 
Our group is varied in its members, men and women of between 11 and 60 in age, members who have lost 3 stone, 4 stone and more (up to 7 & 8!) but also members who have just a small amount to lose. We have fun and competitions for all to join in or you can just sit back and soak up the atmosphere.
