✨ **Honest post and my journey to becoming the best version of Me** ✨

For a long time, if not most of my life I have lived with heavy thoughts: judgement, failure, guilt and the constant feeling of not being good enough. These deep-rooted beliefs became part of my daily life. Where and why I felt this, I don't know. Perhaps social drinking played a part (I don't think alcohol ever has a good ending), perhaps it was just the story I told myself, unspoken words I absorbed that I would always struggle and never quite measure up.

But here’s what I’ve learned: regrets don’t help and guilt or worry doesn't change things. What matters is being happy and healthy today. The only opinion I need to worry about is my own. Those feelings of not being good enough are only true if I choose to believe and act by them.

💭 'What I think about, I bring about'. My thoughts shape my actions, and my actions shape my life.

Putting myself first is not selfish, it’s essential. My weight loss journey and road to a fitter, healthier me hasn’t been easy, but it has been worth every step. I am now starting to see that making myself the best version of me is not a punishment it’s a reward. It’s a gift I give to myself, and it brings me so much happiness and peace. It's a way that I am proving to myself that I can achieve whatever I put my mind to and what I am prepared to work hard for.

These are words I never thought I’d say… but today I am choosing to live by them.

And now, I would love to help anyone achieve the same positive feelings and freedom from shame, guilt, or embarrassment that I’ve discovered. This journey is about support, encouragement, and celebrating every step forward. I’m still walking this path myself (and yes some days it feels bloody hard) but if you’d like to be on it with me, let me know. Together, we can make today the start of something amazing. 💪❤️

🌟 Referred by her GP… Now She’s Racing Through Life! 🌟

Just under 12 months ago, Amanda joined our Anchorsholme Slimming World group after being referred by her GP and what a journey it’s been! She’s now 5 stone lighter, glowing with health, confidence and living life to the fullest 💫

✅ High blood pressure? Gone.
✅ Pre-diabetic? No more.
✅ Cholesterol? From high to healthy.

In July, Amanda smashed the Race for Life 5K, showing just how far she’s come, not just in pounds lost, but in strength gained. Her GP was blown away by her transformation… and so are we!

She’s now bursting with energy for her grandchildren, and radiates a zest for life that’s truly inspiring. And just look at her! She hasn’t just dropped the lbs, she’s dropped years! Her before and after photos say it all… she looks absolutely fabulous ✨

So let’s celebrate Amanda! Proof that with support, determination, and self-belief, anything is possible 🙌

To say I feel amazing is an understatement!
8.75 miles completed today with Ollie, my youngest in preparation for the Great North Run! 🏃‍♀️💪

When the boys were little, I couldn’t have imagined doing anything like this. But thanks to Slimming World and their incredible Body Magic plan, I’ve become more active than I ever dreamed possible, one small step at a time.

We’re not just running for fitness , we’re running with purpose. We’re proud to be taking on the Great North Run for PAPYRUS, a charity dedicated to preventing young su***de 💜

Physical activity has played an important part in my journey, not just in helping me feel healthier, but in boosting my mental well-being too. And what makes me so proud is that Ollie feels it too. He’s learned for himself how powerful running is, not just for his body, but for his mind. It keeps him grounded, clear-headed, and mentally strong.

This journey is changing both our lives, and I’ll never stop being grateful for it. Being able to train and share this experience together is something I’ll cherish forever.

If you’re curious about how Slimming World works or how to take those first small steps, feel free to message me. I’d love to help you start your own journey 🌟
