Your dream, your choice.
I've been busy decluttering my Slimming World cupboard on this very wet Sunday and came across one of our late founder Margaret's magazine articles.
Her message was: "At Slimming World we'll never tell you to lose weight. If you decide the journey's right for you, we'll help you find success."
When members join my group I ask them Why they want to lose weight. We assume they do want to lose weight, that's why they have made that situation. But sometimes they've come because their doctor advised them to lose weight for whatever reason but how important is the weight loss to that potential member? Returning members may now have a different why to when they joined previously. Likewise with existing members in group the reason they joined has now passed, maybe for a wedding, a special birthday, holiday etc. They then need to find a new Why.
Christmas is just 10 weeks away. I got back into my target range last week and am now working on getting to my lowest weight ready for gaining over Christmas as I know I will and then three weeks later I'll be off on my 14 day Carribean cruise so I need to be back at my lowest for then.
So again in Margaret's words "it is not our job to persuade you to lose weight. It is our job to help you achieve YOUR goals, YOUR dreams and the life YOU want for yourself" and she ends with
"We are always here for you. We are always willing to be the wind beneath your wings when, and only when, You decide that's what you want" I think this is just so gorgeous as was our dear Margaret whose legacy lives on after an amazing 56 years. ❤️
