I’ve been reading a book that is very close to my life, "My Name Is Why" by Lemn Sissay, and one thing hit me hard, the power of reclaiming your identity and choosing not to wait for someone else or some perfect moment to give you permission to change your life.
Lemn’s story is about courage, ownership and saying, “This is who I am, and this is who I’m becoming.”
And honestly, that’s what so many Slimming World journeys are about too, including my own.
We often tell ourselves “I’ll start in January”, as if a date on a calendar magically makes change easier, but, Lemn’s message reminds us of the importance of ensuring you matter.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t need the “right” time.
You don’t need everything figured out.
You just need now.
A small step.
A little belief.
And a supportive group around you, cheering you on, walking beside you, and helping you reclaim the version of yourself you deserve to feel proud of.
Your change, your peace and/or your confidence can begin today.
You’re not starting alone. ❤️
