One of my friend's friends (yes, honestly!) is struggling with her weight. She and my friend and another mum are supposed to be doing their own mini-weight club to help each other get motivated. Two are doing ok but the third one is not there -mentally or physically.
My friend asked me for suggestions so I emailed her the link to the before and after photos that Cath (Katie_Oxo) sent me to. As the stories are so inspirational (I think) and the weight loss is dramatic, I was hoping she would see that she COULD do something about her weight loss. It was not to plug LL specifically but to show that others had done it. At a guess, I think this person is at least 5 stone overweight, possibly more.
I have to admit, it took me a long, long time to acknowledge something had to change with my own eating habits. And if people suggested things, I don't think I was very happy about it.
Anyway, this is what my friend emailed me:
"She loved Minimins photos but is struggling to actually get started herself. All kids ill so she is super tired and feeling very below par. Think she has not yet had her eureka moment about her current size and where she wants to be. Any more tips??? She does not like asking others for help so..."
Does anyone have any tips? I don't know what to suggest but I know that everyone on here will have some great ideas and I'd like to pass them on to help this person. Of course, the other issue is whether it is right to try to help someone who is struggling with their weight?
Thanks so much.
