Story....
I very slowly gained weight - and I hated it... I hated being fat and I hated myself for allowing myself to become fat. I don't have any before photos to show you as I couldn't bear to look at myself let alone have my picture taken...
I blamed menopause and my age, I blamed lockdown (even though I had gained a few pounds before then) and not being allowed to work, even though i was still busy redurbishing the hotel and i was still sticking to a healthy diet, (but what I didn't know was - I had an underactive thyroid which was the probable cause of my weight gain, but I didn't find this out until 2 years later).
I woke up one morning, saw my naked self in the mirror and I made a decision right then to lose those unsightly extra pounds....I reached out to find a 1:1 consultant and the following day I was all good to go - from that moment on, I never looked back.
I wanted to lose 3 stones and I did exactly that, and last year I lost a further stone. My underactive thyroid is now stable, (but its taken 2 years to get the medication right as its not a quick fix), but I am always aware of what I eat, I stay accountable, I still have my 1:1 porridge everyday, I still add the 1:1 water flavourings to my daily water and my diet now is very low in carbs, which I don't miss by the way.
I'm actually happy in my own body now, I feel comfortable and I'm no longer offended when i see my reflection in the mirror.
On the strength of my journey I decided that i would become a 1:1 diet consultant myself so that I could help other people to achieve their, 'Slimmer self' goals and dreams....and I've seen some of the most beautiful smiles - as together we watch the pounds and the inches disappear....
I watch people change, grow in confidence and become everything they have always dreamt they could be - its a wonderful thing to witness, and it gives me the happiest heart.
I even make a wage from this absolute privilege, but even if I didn't, I would still be helping and supporting people on their weightloss journey - I genuinely feel the need to share this love.
I turn 60 this year and I'm proud of my journey...
I'm proud of the difference that I make...
I'm proud to be able to share my story with you.
With Love,
