Bramley Slimming World with Lisa & Lanie

Today is World Obesity Day 💛

I’ll be honest… I’ve always hated the word “obese.” It feels heavy, uncomfortable, and full of judgement. But it’s a medical term, and for many people it’s a reality. And behind that word are real people — mums, dads, grandparents, friends — who just want to feel healthier, happier, and more confident.

If you’ve ever felt stuck with your weight…
If you’ve ever avoided photos…
If you’ve ever said “I’ll start Monday” more times than you can count…

Please know you are not alone ❤️

Our Slimming World groups aren’t about shame, scales, or strict rules. They’re about support, understanding, real life food, and small changes that actually fit into busy lives. It’s about celebrating every victory — whether that’s ½lb off, getting off the bus a stop earlier, or simply walking through the door for the first time.

World Obesity Day isn’t about labels.
It’s about awareness.
It’s about health.
It’s about making a change when you’re ready.

And if you’re ready — or even just thinking about it — we’d love to welcome you.

No judgement.
No pressure.
Just support 💕

Message us for details or come along this week — your future self will thank you.

⚽ Match night in town tomorrow … but your goals don’t take a night off! 💪

We know tomorrow night the supporters will be cheering on our home team 🏟️ — and we love that passion! But we also know how important it is to stay consistent with your own goals too.

Whether you’re tempted to skip weigh-in because of the big game atmosphere, worried you might indulge a little extra, or just feel pulled in two directions — we’ve got you! ❤️

Why still come to group?

🔥 Consistency beats perfection
🔥 Showing up builds confidence
🔥 Every weigh-in is progress, not a judgement
🔥 You deserve support no matter what game is on

Don’t let one evening steal the progress you’ve worked so hard for. Be proud — choose YOU. 😊

We’ll be here, cheering you on just like the crowd will cheer the team! 🙌

Bridgerton yes or no?

I’ve not run “proper” for ages so really chuffed with myself after this morning (although I’m very stiff and have a headache), taken myself off to cosy in bed for the evening but the question I have for you is …..

Bridgerton - I’m on season 1 episode 2 - do I keep going? Lis x

I saw quite a few comments on my ‘belly’ reel post yesterday from ladies saying they hated themselves for being overweight, or for having a wobbly tum.
Sometimes, no matter what you do, that roll of flab will not shift.
You might find it hard to exercise due to health or mobility restrictions, or, you might have lost weight elsewhere, but the belly remains.
It becomes all that you focus on, squeezing it, slapping it, mocking it, hating it.
And this negativity spreads like a toxin through to the rest of you until you hate yourself.
Enough now.
You are more than your shape, so much more.
You’ve got to be able to start seeing this and not let the part of you that you hate define you.
Otherwise it becomes a dark cloud blocking the sun.
Others won’t get to see or know the rest of you because you put up a wall of deep self loathing that keeps the loveliness firmly in the shade.
If all you can give out is negativity and self hate, if people cannot get to feel the true warmth of what makes you YOU, then you can’t blame us for getting tired of trying to love you and backing away.
We will naturally gravitate towards someone who shines brighter, who smiles more, laughs easily and gives out positivity.
And here’s the thing - we won’t give a shiny sh*te what size they are! They can have a big bum, bingo wings, more dough than a bakers, none of this matters. We are drawn to the good, kind vibrations that we feel from them, we can hear the happiness in their laughter and we can sense a calm, contented and fun aura.
There is no big, dark cloud of self loathing blocking all the light and loveliness within.
There are millions of different shapes and sizes on the planet, but there is only one you.
You don’t get to come back and live this life, this day, this moment again.
This is it.
How strong and how fabulous we could all be if we built each other up for who we are, instead of knocking away at our confidence with this perception that perfection and happiness wears a smaller size.
The size of your clothes does not define the person you are, nor the fact that you have a life to live.
And you can live that life feeling joyful, comfortable, happy and free, if only you’d let yourself.
It’s your cage, you’ve got the key - you can step out anytime you want to.
I hope to see you in the sunshine.

Really believe reading before lights out is helping me sleep well, which helps me get up early for the gym, which makes me want to eat healthy food 🙌
