THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS OFF-PLAN 🎄
by your cheerleader Consultant (and fellow member!), Alison at St John Fisher - Cuckoo Corner, Southend 🎉
🎄'Twas the run-up to Christmas, and all through the town, Slimming World members were feeling quite down.
The mince pies had whispered, the Baileys had sung, And the willpower wagon?
Well… off it had flung.
🎄Some said, “I’ll restart in Jan, it’s too late for me,”
As they nibbled on stuffing and chomped festive Brie.
But deep down inside, a small voice gave a shout:
“I miss my group — and my sparkle’s run out!”
🎄They scrolled past the posts, they ignored the old chat, Feeling bloated and blue in their festive red hat.
But here comes a truth wrapped in tinsel and cheer:
Alison would be proud of you — now, next, and last year!
🎄She gets it, she’s human (and partial to cake), She’s danced with temptation, made every mistake.
But knows that your journey’s not ruined or gone, It’s just paused for a moment — the sparkle lives on!
🎄So if you’ve gone quiet, or skipped a few groups,
If your jeans feel rebellious and your confidence leaks…
Know this: you’re welcome, no judgement, no shame,
Just hugs, happy tears, and your Consultant proclaim:
🎄“Come back this week! Don't leave it too late, I’ll be here with your mojo and a festive cheer”
Because Christmas is lovely, but YOU shine much more, And your group is the sleigh that will help you restore.
🎄So unwrap your courage, and don’t overthink,
Your sparkle’s still there — it just needed a wink 😉.
And Alison? She’s cheering, with glitter and glee, Saying, “You’re amazing — because you came back to me!” 💖
