From a very young age I have always suffered with being overweight and I was also bullied a lot in school because of my weight. By the time I was in my mid-20s I was at my heaviest, weighing almost 20 stone.
It was then I saw a picture of myself that was taken by my best friend whilst in the park with my goddaughter and it was my wake-up call. I looked uncomfortable in my own body and I barely recognised myself.
It was that moment that I realised how unhappy I was and needed to make changes in my life, and quickly.
“The staff at the clinic all make me feel very comfortable and are always welcoming, friendly and I never feel judged.”
When it comes to dieting, I have good intentions and a clear mindset to reach a goal and I start off well, but then get easily persuaded to give in to my cravings.
I then get bored and start to slump into my old habits of eating badly, binge-eating, large portions and quantities.
I feel like I am always trying new diets and always trying to watch what I eat. I have tried many dieting solutions and supplements bought from high street chemists to aid my weight loss.
Many were unsuccessful as they were not ideal for someone with a bigger appetite or heavy build and I constantly felt hungry, which made me give into my cravings and binge eat again.
“My energy levels are much higher, and I can run around with my goddaughters and niece and nephew now.”
