π Sometimes starting again is part of the journey.
This patient shared an honest reflection on returning to Counterweight for a second time. After losing 30 kg in 20 weeks during their first programme and seeing their diabetes go into remission, personal setbacks led to weight regain.
This time, they're approaching things differently. They recognised that understanding the reasons behind emotional eating is an important part of their journey and are combining the programme with additional support from their NHS weight management team.
After their first week, they've already lost 4 kg, are feeling more energetic, and have started introducing more movement through walks and light cardio at the gym. πΆββοΈπͺ
We love their reminder that the first couple of weeks can feel tough, but things can get easier as you settle into your routine. And perhaps most importantly, their experience shows that a setback doesn't mean you've failed, it can be an opportunity to learn more about what you need to support your long-term health.
Every journey is different, and finding the right combination of practical tools, professional support and behaviour change strategies can help you move forward. π±
