Meet Anna and Bear winners of the Two together competition held in group, here’s what Anna had to say
Slimming World Two Together
First of all Thank you for the nominations for me & Bear, & me & Amy.
I have known Amy for many years as we both live in Looe, and we have, I would like to think, become good friends over the years, bonding with our mutual interest of our struggles with weight loss & having bumped into each other when at various Slimming World groups.
Unknowingly, ( probably ) Amy is a great support to me & has seen me on highs & lows over the years when I am struggling with my weight. Our comparable sense of humour makes me laugh & I know even without looking she will be finding something funny if I do, often leading to inappropriate moments of laughter.
As for Mr Bear … well what can I say, to me he isn’t just a dog, he is the sweetest 4 legged companion I could have ever asked for & he is loved by so many people & shows love back. He is my body magic buddy & we together have walked miles & miles all over Cornwall. He kept me sane over the covid lockdown period & knows all my secrets, never judging just always listening. He sits here with me week after week letting everyone say hi with out a peep & I thank you for all welcoming him & accepting him in group. He really is one in a million.
Having reached my heaviest weight ever, and with a heavy heart I joined this group on the 19th July last year & I have to say, this group really is the best, Haley, YOU, really are the best. A fabulous group leader, & you should be very proud of yourself, you are unwavering supportive & encouraging & the reason we ALL come back week after week. You members also are just fab, my slimming world family, there is something very comforting about seeing you every week, sharing our highs and lows & keeping each other going with inspirational ideas. And for this I thank you all for helping me restore the faith in myself, that I can do this. Something that if I am honest, when I walked through the doors last year I didn’t think I would be able to do.
We will ALL, get there & reach our goals, be it on the scales or not, be kind to yourself, your really are all beautiful.
Thankyou x
