Soooo proud of Melissa! 5.5stone gone forever losing nearly 2stone in the last 4 months
Being a consultant on the team is fab but Melissa will always be a member first- especially at my group
Such an inspiration x
❤️ 5½ STONE DOWN… AND REGAINING MY BELIEF IN MYSELF! ❤️
This certificate means more to me than I can probably put into words.
Before I became a Slimming World consultant, I was, and always will be, a member first. And that’s something I will never forget.
I still attend my own group every single Monday morning because I know how much I need it. I need the support, the friendship, the encouragement and that feeling of knowing I’m not doing this alone.
I want to be honest about something, though…
Back in July, my weight had gone up quite significantly and I genuinely felt like I was losing my way. I was upset, frustrated and there were times when I cried because I felt like I just couldn’t do it anymore. I wasn’t sure I could get myself back to where I wanted to be.
But even during that time, one thing I never questioned was that I needed my group.
I want to say a huge thank you to the friends I’ve made along the way. The people who picked me up when I was feeling rubbish, listened to me when I was struggling and reminded me that I could do this, even when I wasn’t sure I believed it myself. You gave me the encouragement I needed when I needed it most. ❤️
And to Lia my consultant, thank you for always being there, supporting me, encouraging me and believing in me. ❤️
Since July, I’ve worked hard to get myself back on track. I’ve lost the weight I’d gained, lowered my target, achieved that new target and now I’m even below it!
Today I’m 5 stone 8lbs lighter, and more importantly, I’ve regained my belief in myself.
This journey has reminded me that we’re all human. Even as a consultant, I have difficult weeks, I have wobbles and sometimes I need exactly the same support that I encourage my own members to make the most of.
There will always be ups and downs, but a gain doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s what you do next that matters.
I’m so proud of myself for not giving up this time. In the past, when things got difficult, that’s exactly what I would do. I’d give up.
But this time I made a promise to myself. I told myself I wasn’t doing that again. I wasn’t giving up on myself or everything I’d worked so hard for.
And I didn’t. ❤️
So if you’re reading this and you’re struggling, please don’t give up on yourself. You can find your way again, you can get back to where you want to be and you can achieve things you might not think are possible right now.
If I can do it, you can too. ❤️
And that’s exactly what Slimming World is about. We’re in this together. ❤️ fans
