🎄 THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS OFF-PLAN 🎄
by your ever-proud Consultant (and fellow member!) Jo of the Bloomfield and Dundonald groups 🎄
🎄'Twas the run-up to Christmas, and all through the town,
Slimming World members were feeling quite down.
The mince pies had whispered, the Baileys had sung,
And the willpower wagon? Well… off it had flung.
🎄Some said, “I’ll restart in Jan, it’s too late for me,”
As they nibbled on stuffing and sipped festive tea.
But deep down inside, a small voice gave a shout:
“I miss my group — and my sparkle’s run out!”
🎄They scrolled past the posts, they ignored the old chat,
Feeling bloated and blue in their festive red hat.
But here comes a truth wrapped in tinsel and cheer:
Jo would be proud of you — now, next, and last year!
🎄She gets it, she’s human (and partial to crackers and cheese),
She’s danced with temptationand said Ill have some more please!!
But she knows that your journey’s not ruined or gone,
It’s just paused for a moment — the sparkle lives on!
🎄So if you’ve gone quiet, or skipped a few weeks,
If your jeans feel rebellious and your confidence leaks…
Know this: you’re welcome, no judgement, no shame,
Just hugs, happy tears, and your Consultant proclaim:
🎄“Come back this week! Don't leave it too late,
I’ll be here with your mojo and a festive cheer”
Because Christmas is lovely, but YOU shine much more,
And your group is the sleigh that will help you restore.
🎄So unwrap your courage, and don’t overthink,
Your sparkle’s still there — it just needed a wink 😉.
And Jo? She’s cheering, with glitter and glee,
Saying, “You’re amazing — because you came back to me!” 💖
