I am moving my office and was sorting out my drawers at the ungodly hour of 5am this morning and found these pictured below, there were 11 packs altogether. Don’t really know why I kept them, yes they are special, each of those journeys were started with the same hope, excitement, passion, expectation, determination and willpower as the last. I gave them each everything I had, for varying amounts of time. The first was way back in 2010 when you could choose extra easy, green or original! I managed 2 stone on that first journey. Each journey ended the same way, they all fizzled out or ended abruptly and I regained some or all (sometimes more) what I’d lost. And started again at some point. I know so many of you have had similar journeys, it’s so hard walking back through that door isn’t it? But I’m so glad I did. I’m glad I never gave up. I guess somewhere deep inside I must have believed in myself, in Slimming World, the fabulous consultants I’ve had on the way. Because I finally got to the target I hadn’t even dared to dream of. I set it last August when I rejoined for the last time, with the mindset, I must go to group every week. I set it lower than I had done before because I knew that’s what I REALLY wanted, not what I only ‘thought’ I might be able to achieve. That was the real difference, going to group every week was the one promise I made myself keep, no matter what. Surprising what a mindset shift that gives you, what a difference it makes to your choices each and every week knowing that you’re 100% going to group on Thursday come hell or high water! I was the pro at excuses before that why I needed to skip group but not anymore! It took I think about 60 weeks to lose the 6.5 stone I needed for target, but as lovely as that was to receive ( I have got to a higher target before but didn’t stay there) it was this particular award that really made me realise this morning that I had well and truly entered a new phase of my life that I have never been in before. 12 weeks at target. I’m honestly flabbergasted not only that I got there but I stayed there for this long!
If you’ve read this far you deserve a medal. 🏅And this isn’t a brag post, it’s an attempt at an inspire post, if you’ve ever felt like ‘oh here we go again’ or ‘shall I give it another go’ or omg it’s taking ages’ or ‘will I look silly rejoining AGAIN’ just don’t! Just get back and get on with it, if you just give up, you’ll never get there, that’s for certain! But I will tell you what’s also for certain, if you keep trying ONE of those attempts WILL get you to target.
I am really looking forward to meeting you and helping and supporting you on that journey, I’ll be there on Tuesday 6th Jan when everything goes back to normal, kids back to school, everyone back to work, and the year starts with a swing! I run 4 sessions at 9.30am, 11am, 5.30pm and 7pm. See you there! So many exciting updates, freebies, special offers and glow ups to bring to you! There’s never been a better time to come along and see what we are all about!
