Harriet – Leeds North clinic
Six months ago I was fat and unhappy. Now I am slim and over the moon! It feels like a miracle!
I have battled with my weight all my life, managing to keep just below ‘obese’ by lots of exercise and trying to eat sensibly. However, it had begun to feel like a losing battle. I was 60 last year and during my fifties I had gone through the menopause, given up smoking (after 40 years!) and been diagnosed with an under-active thyroid for which I will have to take daily thyroxine for life. Added to that deadly trio of fat-makers, I was carrying my fat round my middle – the classic ‘apple’ and the worst place to carry weight for health reasons.
By the Spring I was 13 stone and a size 20 top and 16 bottom. I could not face shopping in ‘fat girl’ shops any longer. I decided to give myself one last chance at being ‘normal’ although in my heart-of-hearts I did not believe it would be possible.
Enter SureSlim and my fairy godmother consultant. Everything she said has come true! She has been by my side, encouraging, explaining, praising, motivating and witnessing as the miracle unfolded and I emerged from my dark place into light and happiness.
Not only am I a slim 10/12 bottom and 12/14 top (and 40 lbs lighter) but I have a better shape than I have ever had. My already thin face has not become haggard. My bosom has not gone (though the fat round my back has) and I look fantastically well. My GP is delighted. My BMI is normal. My friends and family are staggered and I cannot stop looking in mirrors and smiling. And as much as loving my new body, I like feeling this well. I believe it is this feeling of wellbeing that will keep me following the SureSlim maintenance programme for ever.
Oh, and clothes shopping is heaven….
