Food for thought

It's Friday night and a chippy tea is calling...so you look up the eating out guide in your food optimising book and see that a portion of chips is 14 syns....lovely

But what you didn't read was for how many grand...220g by the way. This is an average portion of chips in most chippy's these days, almost 350g which is another 7 syns that you maybe havent have accounted for.

I know 7 extra syns doesn't seem like a lot but how many hidden extras in your meals and snacks are slowing your weightloss down each week?

At group it's more than just standing on the scales, it's food learning; identifying our triggers; making positive changes towards are relationship with food; setting goals and being a support network for each other.

And I'd love for you to be a part of it. So get in touch

I did it!!!!

I restarted my own weightloss journey back in April. This time around I did it for me not because I was a consultant and felt I had to do it and I know that was pressure I put on myself unnecessarily.

I felt like a fraud at the front of group every week telling my members how to food optimise but not doing it myself. So I set myself unrealistic goals each week then when I knew I wasn't going to achieve them gave up and sought comfort in my fav junk food or takeaways.

I turned 40 in March and I had this vision of what I was going to look like having achieved my goal weight....well that didn't happen so I buried my head in the sand for another month.

And then I bit the bullet and rejoined. I fell back in love with food optimising and started putting myself, the member first. I did exactly what I would tell my new members to do. Read the pack cover to cover and fill in those food diaries for the first 4 weeks because you know what...they really do work.

I went on holiday 1.5 stone lighter and today I achieved my 2.5 stone award as well as my club 10. I'm now 10% lighter than when I rejoined....this is always my favourite award to give out at group.

I'm halfway there and I cannot wait to see what I can achieve by Christmas!

We are just back from Disney land!!! Would never have done it this year if I had not got back to group and lost weight. Am I at target....not yet! I still have a few stone to go and that's OK with me because I know I'm on my way. 🚶‍♀️

But the seatbelt fitted me on the plane...I could tighten it 😃 I didn't have to worry about fitting on the rides so I was able to just enjoy being in the moment with my family ❤️ did the tray table sit flat....not quite yet, but that will be my next non scale victory so watch this space!

What I'm trying to say is there is no "perfect time" to join...you have to just start! Make the decision and go with it. Will there be weeks you don't lose? Of course. Will there be weeks you can't be bothered? You're only human. But the only time you fail is when you give up.

Even if you've tried before, I'd love to invite you to come and try again with me. I know I can help you achiebe your weightloss dream!! Group isn't quite disney land....but believe me when I say it is where the magic happens !!
