We've done fad diets. I've dragged Andrew into many a diet
I try to support you don't I? Yeah we've done them all.
The day we got on the flight we were going to Dubai and I said to Andrew at the beginning
I will get off, we will abandon this holiday if I cant get the seat belt fastened
and we'd saved up so much for it, we'd worked quite hard for it that year
but we will abandon it. And that's when we vowed
we wouldn't get on another flight until we'd lost the weight.
I'd seen the great weight loss my sister had had and because it
worked for her work I knew it would work for me. I saw the good food she ate
We would have never thought about buying 5% fat mince, we'd never have cut the fat of the bacon
We'd have cooked a fried egg in oil. It's a matter of learning and educating yourself
in how to cook food.
In total together we've lost 14st 5lb. You join a group just to be a part of the group you don't
think you're going to give people inspiration.
Everybody is on their own personal journey
and it doesn't matter how quick you lose it - it's not about that. It's about that support.
There was one lady, she inspired me when I first started Slimming World
and she told me at Christmas that I inspire her. It makes my heart warm
I don't think I've ever inspired anybody in my life! And to have that as well as
part of our journey. We also inspire each other.
That's been a big part of it as well because we're there for one another
it's fantastic. I feel so alive now where as before you feel lethargic and just want to sit down
every day is the same and you get into a rigmarole and you don't realise
and then all of a sudden you find Slimming World and it just seems to change your life completely
Well to be fair now, the world's our oyster!
If we want to go on a flight we can go on a flight and if we want to go on a cruise
we can even go on a cruise, that's the bottom line.
