Weight Lost - 82 lbs

Hi BodySlims team!
A year into the BodySlims journey, I can truly say BodySlims has transformed my life.
I have been struggling with my weight for as long as I remember, and on and off diets since age 10. At some point, I simply gave up fighting because what was the point? That was until I was introduced to BodySlims by my best friend.
I started the program twice and abandoned twice. I had very rational explanations as to why: work, travel, commitments… but the truth was that like Daisy I was scared of what would happen if I tried and failed. But Ger’s words stuck with me, and a year ago, I finally admitted to myself that I had reached “super bad”. I had progressively gained weight over 12 years, one brick at a time, and was well on track to becoming morbidly obese by year-end. I was constantly tired and unwell, and I was slowly but surely cutting myself off from friends and family.
A year ago, I decided to start applying what I had already learnt from BodySlims before the September program started. To leverage the power of the day, and start the road towards my dream goal.
1 year and 3 programs later, I have lost 82lb and 39% of my starting body weight, or a whopping 5 dress sizes. And while I still have another stone to go to achieve my dream goal, I could not be more proud of what I have achieved. Looking at the before and after pictures, the physical transformation feels unreal.
But the power of BodySlims is that the transformation really transcends how you look, and changes how you fundamentally feel. I haven’t been this happy in as long as I remember, and my friends and family are so happy to have me back. I now use food as fuel, and motion to change my emotions. As a result I have boundless energy and I get to enjoy life to the fullest. And my confidence is back. I can now look at myself in the mirror (even smile!), or go into a shop and not feel embarrassed to try clothes on.
Most importantly, breaking through that first fence like Brian the bull, has helped me face more and more of my fears, toppling fence after fence after fence. I am doing things I would never have thought were possible, including online dating, or training for a half marathon.
The journey hasn’t always been easy but I’m grateful for all my family and friends who have supported me, adapted to what I needed, and cheered me on every step of the way.
The effort has been worth it, and I know this time the change will still stick. I know because it’s addressed the fundamental root causes of my weight issues, and changed my habits for life. But I also know because I’ve put it to the test: real life is still happening while on BodySlims and the things which would have caused me to gain weight in the past (moving country twice, changing job, sick dog, constant travel…) just haven’t.
BodySlims is now my way of life.
Thank you Ger, Sharon and the BodySlims team for guiding me here 🙏
