I had been overweight for as long as i can remember, as a teenager I had always struggled with my weight but didnt really see it balloon till I was in my 20's. By the time I had my first baby I was 20 stone and felt completely trapped in my own body. Like most people who have a weight problem, I tried every diet under the sun with little success. I was becoming desperate as having to look after my new wee baby, I soon realised just how bad I had let things get. Bending down or getting on the floor to play with her felt impossible and I just felt like I was failing as a mother.

When she was 2 I was becoming desperate, and i decided to get a gastric band which turned out to be the worst mistake of my life and has caused me no end of problems!

After I had my second daughter i decided enough was enough and had the band deflated as I hadnt lost any weight now and wanted the misery to end. At this point my cousin had just lost 4 stone in a very short period of time and she introduced me to my lovely consultant. At first i was really apprehensive I didnt think that I would be able to do it as it felt like a huge sacrifice but i soon realised the actual sacrifice I was making if I didnt start was my own life.

Getting started was easy, my consultant helped me through every step and things just fell into place. I started to see the weight come off quickly which really motivated me to keep going, the diet was so much easier than I ever expected and I felt the best Id felt my whole life! 

I dont know where I would be now If I hadnt took the leap and started, The 1:1 diet has completely changed my life and made me a better mum to my babies. I am still on my weightloss journey and have lost 5.5 stone so far, I feel amazing and thank every day that I made the leap! Dont hesitate, you could start changing your life today!!
