Christine’s Story

I battled with my weight for 40 years, from the age of 16. I couldn’t understand why I was overweight; it seemed unfair, I ate the same things as slim people around me and was just as active as them, but it seemed to me that I just needed to look at a plate of food to pile the pounds on.

I joined slimming groups but found they had quite a negative effect on me, I’d become obsessed with food, even though I didn’t really want it. I’d follow the diet rigorously but after a very few weeks my weight loss would slow right down and I’d lose half a pound, or worse still, nothing; and there always seemed to be someone in the group who would say things like, “I can’t believe it, I’ve lost 5 pounds this week and I can’t understand why, I’ve eaten 6 cream cakes, 2 bags of chips, 9 chocolate bars and drunk 27 gin and tonics!” – frankly I couldn’t believe it either!

When I was in my early 30’s I went to my doctor with back problems. I was mortified that he dismissed me with “you need to lose 2 stone, it’s like carrying a full suitcase round all the time, that’ll sort out your back.” As if it was as easy as that! It was as if he thought I was deliberately making myself overweight when, in fact, I wasn’t able to lose weight, despite trying, I just didn’t know how.

By my late 30’s I was 13 ½ stones and desperate, so I put myself on a very strict, low calorie diet with lots of exercise. and I managed to lose 2 ½ stones in 10 months, that was when I met and married Steve, at the one time in my adult life when I was relatively slim. But then my back problems returned with a vengeance, I had dreadful sciatica and I couldn’t exercise, actually I couldn’t work for 2 years. The weight piled back on and I still didn’t know how to control it. I tried more diets, I’d lose a stone or so then it would grind to a halt; and my health problems were increasing, my cholesterol level had gone up, I needed to get it down, but still I couldn’t lose the weight.

Then I heard about SureSlim and I couldn’t wait to sign up. The blood test results confirmed that my cholesterol levels were high, which I knew, but I was disturbed to learn that my blood sugar was starting to creep up, too, putting me at risk of developing type II diabetes, which runs in my family.

I had no idea what to expect of the food plan and was really delighted to find it was just ordinary, healthy food – and quite a lot of it.

I lost 18 pounds in the first month and I was delighted! I’d never lost so much in such a short period of time – and I knew I was eating really healthily so such dramatic weight loss wasn’t bad for me. What’s more, I felt so well! I had loads of energy, I stopped feeling low, I felt ‘happy’, not just because I was losing weight but somehow I felt really good from within.

That was in 2006 when I started, and I lost 50 pounds. I’m glowing, I look and feel 10 – no 15 – years younger in fact I feel like the woman my husband married. And because of my own success, I wanted to help others learn how to lose weight the scientific way, so I decided to open my clinic. I’ve been operating since 2007.

In that time, I’ve met hundreds of people whose stories are often similar to mine – although not all our stories are the same. I’ve helped children, Mums, Dads, Grandmothers and Grandfathers and the one thing we have in common is that we all feel well when we follow our own plan. You see, the plan is tailored for each individual and so you can be confident it is the right food for your body, in the right quantities.
