Are you Bob or Rob?

Bob and Rob were feeling quite bad,
Their weight had crept on and it made them both sad -
They got on the scales and OH! What a shock!
They sat down to think and really take stock.

“Bob!” said Rob, “I must shift two stone!”
“Rob!” said Bob “You’re not on your own!”
So Bob became a Slimming World member -
He needed some help to get through December.

But to his surprise, Rob wasn’t too keen ...
“It’s pointless” he said “You’ll see what I mean."
“With Christmas looming, I’ve buffets and parties.
My missus, she fills up my stocking with smarties!”

“With shopping and work dos it won’t be too funny
When going to Group wastes my time and my money!”
“I’ll go with you Bob but I’m just not quite ready
I’ll join in the New Year when things are more steady."

For Bob, it was different, to him it was clear
“I’ll get going now and not wait till New Year!”
So off he went and in no time at all
He’d learnt some good choices to help him get small.

Parties, buffets and shopping were fine
And he knew the best choices when off out to dine.
He learnt how to get through the season in style
And on Christmas Eve, had a big beaming smile.

“Over one stone gone and I’m over the moon!
I must tell my friend and I must do it soon!”
His enthusiasm, well, it just knew no bounds,
He felt so much better having shifted some pounds.

Rob was pleased for his friend but wished he’d gone too.
He’d added some inches, more than a few!
“You joined in November that really was clever
And now you are having the best Christmas ever!”

So if you’re not happy and it’s a new you that you seek
Consider the benefits of joining THIS week
When you get to January, oh what a thrill!
No mountain to climb – just a smaller molehill!

Be like Bob, not Rob and JOIN WALKER SLIMMING WORLD now, you wont regret it!

🚨 We REALLY need your help this year…🎄

Every Christmas, thanks to your generosity, we’ve helped give hundreds of warm Christmas meals to people in need right here in our local community. ❤️

Since last Christmas, Facebook has drastically reduced how many people see posts that contain 'external links' — and using an external link on a post is how we mainly do the fundraising. 😞

That means fewer people who are able to donate this Christmas are far less likely to even see this post… and fewer warm meals might be bought to those in need.

This has been true with posts we have put out this Christmas which would usually go viral have been seen by only a tiny amount of people which directly results in us being able to fundraise for the amounts needed...

So we’re asking for your help — not just with donations (if you’re in a position to donate) but by simply sharing this post to help it reach more people across the North East who are in a position to donate.

It’s only £5 to provide a warm Christmas meal for someone in need this festive season.

Please help if you can, share below to help really spread the word and counteract Facebook's new external linking pushdown on our posts❤️

💼 We Need Local Businesses to Get Involved!
Is your business fundraising or donating this Christmas? Join us in supporting this vital local cause.

Any business who is fundraising and raising £149+ we will give you a shout out to our huge North East following...

🎅 Get creative! Organise a Christmas jumper day, a staff fundraiser, or any fun festive idea to raise money and spread kindness this Christmas.

👉 Instead of paying large corporations for advertising, why not make a donation to the Homeless Christmas Meal Appeal and get your business promoted as a thank-you — all while supporting local people in need.

Together, we can make this Christmas warmer, kinder, and full of hope for those who need it most. ❤️
