Weight Loss Transformation, A Personal Journey to become unstuck.

Hey Gerard, Sharon, carla & the rest of the bodyslims team,

This is my 10 week before and after, this is my first cycle and I wanted to share just how achievable you can be in just 10 weeks! The programme is hard but very simple and anybody really can do it!  I have a fire burning beneath me and this whole journey has blown my mind. 10 weeks ago I took the first photo and my mental state was beyond low, i was embarrassed, disgusted, miserable and so angry at myself! I hated me, I hid away in the shadows of disgust, I ran from photos, I dressed mostly in pjs and I thought all the hiding was making it “better” because nobody would see me. I knew what I really wanted and who I really was beneath it all but for some reason my want was not enough to start. I was my own barrier, my self belief was non existent, I thought more about how long it would take me to get there rather then just doing it! And that’s what was holding me back, all apart of my shitty story! I was recommended bodyslims a little before this photo and I thought, what have I really got to loose by doing this? And the answer was “the weight of the world I feel on my shoulders, the nasty emotions, the hate I felt for myself, the hiding away in the shadows and all the extra weight I’ve added on” and then I thought what have I got to loose if I don’t do this? And the answer was “the quality of my life, the quality of my health, the mother I should be for my children, the person I want to be and the list goes on and on” so it was a no brainer and I got signed up and surrendered to win. I never put myself first, my children, my partner, my family and even bloody strangers come before me, but something clicked and I just felt this was the time, the time I got myself together and put myself first.

For a long time I have been existing than living and now I’m slowly living rather than just existing, instead of enduring life, I’m enjoying life, and I have gained more then I could ever imagine I could have in 10 weeks, from suffering in every bit of my body and mind to slowly finding a bit more freedom within my body and mind each day. To having the energy my children deserve their mam to have to run and play and just be the best I can be for them, to been able to call myself a walker when I once could have said I was a part of the furniture from not moving! To saying yes to being seen outside my front door, to agreeing to be in a photo, to wearing brighter smaller clothes, to hearing the spark in my eyes is back and to being back feeling more confident then I have in a long time, It’s just indescribable the feeling I’m feeling, the overwhelming sence of achievement in all aspects of my body, mind and life. But most of all I’ve learned something so very important and that’s that  “impossible” has actually been “I’m possible” all along. The girl inside my body is never going to give up again, my body has housed me for all my years and housed my two beautiful children and I’ve neglected it and it has been abandoned for way too long! In just 10 weeks we have taken 39lbs of bricks down from this added extension.

BodySlims has given me my thought/idea, bodyslims has given me my plan, bodyslims have given me an action and I’m giving them the results of their incredible work they do to help me on my journey and guide me to my D2D! I am so grateful and anybody thinking about signing up, DO IT!!! DONT THINK AND JUST SIGN UP!! You deserve it! And you will thank yourself! That’s exactly what I’m doing now, thanking myself because I was once in your shoes, I was my own barrier and if I could give you one bit of advice it would be this, your current comfort zone isn’t really all that comfortable if your reading this, so you owe it to yourself to take the leap and give it your best shot because trust me, you will not regret it! And along the way ger shared this with us and it stuck with me forever!

Thank you to all on the team from the bottom of my heart! Opened my eyes and gave me a new set of glasses! This is just the beginning! And I hope if you’re reading this, this is the beginning for you too!

“Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, all we have is today, if you can get trough just today to give yourself 100%, well then you can get trough any day” told by a wise man (Gerard) to me and I think if we live by this, anything is possible! It’s got me here today and is changing my life in every single way!

See you all in September!
