“As a teenager I hid behind a bubbly personality and was the ‘fat, funny girl’! I went to university to study acting and a combination of binge drinking, take-aways and unhealthy cooking caused my weight to rocket. I came across as confident and carefree but deep down I was desperately unhappy with my weight.
“I moved to London to pursue my dreams of stardom and I had an active social life and ate out most evenings. I had a few successful acting jobs and I was even approached by a modelling agency after they saw my headshot, but I knew that as soon as they realised how heavy I was I wouldn’t stand a chance. Fad diet after fad diet failed and I was even prescribed slimming pills from my doctor – they didn’t work!
“My world fell apart when I heard the terrifying news that my brother had been diagnosed with a heart condition that could be hereditary! I knew that being overweight was putting extra strain on my heart and I had to do something that could potentially save my life – so, inspired by my friend’s success I joined Slimming World.
"Food Optimising was easy, flexible and I was amazed how much Free Food I could eat. I’d tuck into poached eggs on wholemeal toast for breakfast, a cheese and mushroom omelette for lunch and my favourite pork schnitzel or homemade fish, Slimming World chips and mushy peas in the evening. Life doesn’t stop have to stop when you’re slimming – I still eat out, go for drinks with friends and, best of all, still lose weight."
“I’ve become a whizz in the kitchen and the Slimming World magazine, website and delicious recipe books are packed full of great recipes. Practice has given me the confidence to tackle any dish – I made seafood paella last week and my boyfriend loved it!
“In the first couple of months, I wasn’t focused on my target weight (which can be quite daunting when you’ve got 8 stones to lose!) and would often weigh and leave. It wasn’t until I’d had a few small gains when I realised that I needed Image Therapy and the group’s sensational support, motivation and meal ideas would help me get back on track.
“I didn’t do any exercise before I joined Slimming World because I was embarrassed about my size but losing weight has given me so much energy and my skin’s looking great too! After losing 4 stones I joined a gym and started playing badminton. Now I love going for walks by the seaside with my boyfriend and I’m even planning a skiing holiday!
“Life’s just incredible at the moment thanks to Slimming World I’ve got the tools to stay slim for life. For the first time ever my confidence is 100% real and I feel gorgeous top to toe. I have a fantastic new figure and I love showing it off in gorgeous dresses. Finally all my dreams have come true and more opportunities are coming my way… and I’m grabbing them with both hands!”
