Start your weight loss journey with The Slimming Clinic
I had always been up and down with my weight and was never bothered in my early teens. But as I’ve got older (and bigger!), I’ve realised how it does affect a lot of aspects of my life, which was making me really unhappy.
Even before my son was born, I had been a yoyo dieter for as long as I can remember. Since having my son six years ago, I haven’t been able to get my weight down.
I was facing my 30th birthday in February 2020, so set myself an aim of that date to lose weight for. Sadly, I didn’t even realise I had let myself go quite so badly.
“Having been to The Slimming Clinic before and losing so much weight, I knew it worked and could work for me again. So, I just bit the bullet and came back!”
Anyone who knows me knows I have been on a different diet every week!
I had spent years trying to lose weight since having my son and giving up again when there weren’t immediate results. My motivation falls away if I don’t lose weight quickly and nothing seemed to be working for me.
Now that I’ve lost four stone, I am seeing such massive benefits. My confidence is back, and I am happy to be social again and go out with friends. What’s more, I am back to being able to playing a whole game of netball again too and ran a 10km in Plymouth last year.
I felt so confident training for the 10km out on my own, instead of hiding away in embarrassment.
“The team in Plymouth always make time for you and the Doctor has given me various coping tactics in order to do the very best I can each week and they’re always willing to do health checks on me when I ask.”
Steph’s Slimming Tips
1. Be organised – Sunday food shopping is a great habit to get you prepared for the week.
2. Eat plenty through out the day, to stop your bad snacking in the evening.
3. Take regular progress photos to see just how far you’ve come!
