Thank you Slimming World for the beautiful flowers I received this morning.
Tomorrow marks 10 whole years to the day since I walked away from my career in financial services and stepped into Radcliffe Hall and ran my first ever Slimming World group. Monday 7th September 2015 ๐ฅฒ
I look back and remember how nervous I was in those first few weeksโฆ. Would anybody turn up? ๐ Would I be able to give this everything it needs to be a success? ๐ค๐ป Would I be enough? ๐๐ป
I couldnโt sleep that first night when I got homeโฆ the adrenalin felt alive in my veins and I knew in my heart โฅ๏ธ that this was going to be something specialโฆ. ๐ซ
These 10 years have flown byโฆ.. There have been serious highs โฌ๏ธ and there have been serious lows โฌ๏ธ But I can honestly say I wouldnโt change a thing ๐ฏ The only regret I have is not being able to help even more people ~ I wish more people would give us a try and ignore the stigma attached to a slimming club.
๐ Inside a true Slimming World group you will only find genuine care and supportโฆ.. You donโt join Slimming World to make friends but what you soon realise is you build friendships that you never even knew you neededโฆ. โจ๐ซ
Each week I get to observe and aware whatโs happening in my groupsโฆ. I see happiness, relief, care, compassion, tears, fearโฆ. I see every emotion you could imagine - but I never see anyone aloneโฆ.. because youโre never alone when you choose Slimming World.
I honestly thrive off helping peopleโฆ..
I thrive off watching my members learn to love themselves again ~ watching their lightbulb moments along the way, seeing their confidence grow, their health improve, hearing them share their milestones and moments that they had once dreamed of become a reality ๐ซ
I also feel so privileged to help my struggling members and I feel itโs important to acknowledge them here as itโs not always easy. Life; both past and present can make losing weight and quite frankly even wanting to lose weight extremely difficult. ( I wonโt go into detail in this post around my own experience here but I promise to share this over the coming week with you all)
Iโm a huge advocate for mental wellbeing through the mind, body and soul and those deeper routed reasons why we struggle are one of the reasons why I feel Slimming World has the tools to help every member who walks through our doorsโฆ. Slimming World really is not just about food and if you think it is then I really do urge you to find your local group and give it another tryโฆ.
A couple of years ago I made a deal with myself that I would get to 10 years and bow out quietly with the best memories but I just canโt ๐ฅบ๐ฅฒ
The truth is that I just love what I do far too much to walk away and I believe in Slimming World. I believe in our methods, our core principals and our vision and my time helping the local people of Bingham and surrounding areas is nowhere near complete ~ especially when my work involves being with the most amazing, genuine people each week in my groups.
