Hi,
I just registered with this wonderful site, I have often googled an answer to my query and the site that always comes up is your own, let me introduce myself.
My name is Orla and I'm Irish. I joined slimming world in January this year as I was turning 40 in August (that has passed now) and felt I needed to do something about my weight. When I joined that night, I was exactly 20st and I cried and felt totally ashamed but my lovely and very sweet consultant Pauline said that will not remain there ever again and she was so right. I have been married to my wonderful husband Brian for 13 years and we have no children (yes sadly I have PCOS) and that is the real motivation I needed to kick start this weight loss programme and boy am I glad I did as just over 8 months on and I received my award for 3.5st last Tuesday (yayyyy)
I have never felt so confident as I feel the slimming world diet is ordinary every day food and you can eat what you like (of course as long as they are free foods) but you don't have to deny yourself a treat, I would often save my treat for a glass or two of wine or a lovely crunchie bar (yum) and this healthy eating is for life and I don't get scared anymore when I say that as I know I can succeed
