Confident in my own skin
“My whole life I have been overweight, the girl who was always "carrying a little extra". In primary school I had very few friends and I attended a sports high school where I was surrounded by fit teenagers. Being overweight in that environment made me an easy target for bullying and teasing. I would always try to brush off the comments but I was deeply affected by them. I would try to stay active and eat healthily but if I didn't see immediate results I would give up.
My weight loss journey with The 1:1 Diet began after having my children. With two children under 2, my body had been through a lot, including a C-section birth which left me with a "mum tum". At this point I was 93kg, feeling overwhelmed and I began to suffer from depression. I would comfort eat and my “go-to” was always chocolate, fast food and at least three cans of Coke a day.
My eating habits had spiralled out of control making me even more depressed and withdrawn. I didn't want to leave the house or attend family events because I hated what I looked like. Coming from an indigenous background, I knew my risk of diabetes and other health issues were higher and I needed to make a change.
My Consultant is my neighbour, and I would see the incredible changes in her clients posted on social media. I had no idea what I was in for but was ready.
As soon as the first week was done and I had lost an amazing 3kg. With Rachael's unwavering support and guidance, even during the lockdown, I was able to shift a lifetime of weight and become happier, healthier and confident in my own skin.
The 1:1 Diet was so easy to follow, and I love the fact that it has steps that I will be able to continue using for a lifetime of healthy and controlled eating.
This medically and nutritionally based plan made me feel safe and has given me lifelong tools to keep my weight healthy. The range of products is fantastic and keeps you interested and satisfied. It never actually felt like I was on a diet.
To know I will always have the support of my Consultant Rachael is invaluable.”
