touching hearts, changing lives This Time...
I wonder whether any of you are starting the year 2018 with little whispers of guilt murmuring under the surface? Guilt, maybe, that you didn't spend as much time as you meant to with those you love? Or perhaps that you didn't make the savings you'd planned towards the house you wanted to move into?
Or maybe it was some life-style changes that you'd planned to put in place, but you just didn't manage to find the time, or the motivation... We've all been there, I can promise you that! We've all felt bad when we've been asked, at the end of January, what our New Year's Resolution was, and we've had to mutter our excuses like 'Oh, I don't really believe in making them...' or, 'Well, I wanted to get fit but the weather's so cold at the moment that I thought I'd wait till Spring!', etc, etc.
But what really stops us making those life-style changes? For me, it was always the fear that I wouldn't succeed; I'd tried so many times before and never managed to stay the course. From the age of 12, I was unhappy with my weight; I felt awkward and ungainly and I hated doing any activity that would expose me to wearing the ridiculously short gym kits that schools insisted on. Over my teenage years I tried to hide in baggy clothes, long cardigans, etc and I pretended I didn't mind that I was never asked to dance at the Youth Club discos - I almost managed to convince myself that I was happier in the other room playing Table Tennis!
As the years went by, I struggled constantly with my weight, trying numerous times (and numerous ways!) to get on top of it but never succeeding, until finally, in 2004, I discovered Slimming World. At last I had discovered a place where I was welcome whatever size I was when I walked through that door - it took some guts to do it, I can tell you, but once in, I have never looked back. Now, 13 years on I'm the Slimming World Consultant for all the Broadstone groups and my mission is to help every single person I can, to achieve their own ideal weight; to succeed where they never have before; to be valued for the person they are now, as well as the person they want to become.
You see, at Slimming World, we are a team; we share ideas, recipes, tips, friendship and so much more besides. Once you have become a member of our friendly groups, you'll soon realise that this time you can make this work. This time, you really can make that dream come true, because this time, you're not going it
alone.This time, you'll be accepted for who you are, and you'll receive all the support and help you want and need.
Together, we'll step into 2018 with a purpose and a hope; together, we'll make your dream, your reality!
