Before and ‘After’

I have always been chubby. Seriously, I don’t remember ever feeling like the slim and pretty one in my group of friends. I guess I just never had the confidence and belief in myself to do anything about it, so I just kpet eatin and hoping it would all go away. And of course I always had an excuse – exam stress, too busy, boy trouble – you know the sorts!

So you know how everybody has that dreadful ‘before’ picture that shakes them in to doing something about their weight? Well this is mine (or one of them, anyway)….

That’s me on the right – complete with double chin and bloated beer belly! Definitely time to do something..!

Enter Slimming World, a lot of hard work and some serious exercise.

One stone down.

Now just to keep it up! My weight loss journey was difficult, but I’m thankful that I had the motivation and found the support to do something about it.

In this case, it’s important that you understand that ‘after’ does not really mean ‘after’ – essentially it means ‘for the rest of my life’! Bring it on!
