Eileen re-builds her confidence!
Catherine Matthews Eileen is no stranger to the world of dieting having dabbled with many different approaches over the years. Until she discovered the online healthy eating programme she had never found a diet that worked for her. Within months of joining our online diet plans Eileen achieved a once unachievable goal and transformed her figure.
A tough marriage break-up caused Eileen to comfort eat and her weight spiralled to an all time high. As if life was not throwing enough hardship at her, she also developed a number of health problems that contributed to further weight gain.
Meeting a new partner proved to be a life saver for Eileen, he showed her that she could be happy again and she used this positive energy to motivate her weight loss efforts.
“None of the diets I ever tried worked, as there was no support in place, like there is with the online programme. The contact with my mentors, has helped me a lot as have the new friendships I have made with other members.”
7 months after joining the meal plans Eileen has almost reached her target weight and she has achieved a phenomenal 3 stone 1 lb.
“I have lost inches from everywhere, I feel so toned now. Sometimes I find it hard to believe how much my body has changed but a quick glance in the mirror shows me that yes it is believable.”
Eileen loves her new curvy size 12 figure and she is determined to never return to her former size 18-20 dress size again.
“I wear figure hugging tops which I would never have worn before, in fact I would have been shocked if I saw my daughter wearing some of the clothes I wear now.”
Her weight loss has also meant she can reprise her interest in horse shows without having to worry about a lack of fitness.
“This year I will be handling horse riding events, to do that I need to maintain a healthy weight. I know I can do it because I have a partner and family that are behind me all the way.”
Before joining the meal plans Eileen admits that her unhappy personal life had a knock on effect towards her attitude to food.
“I was unbelievably unhealthy, I ate lots of comfort foods that were high in fat, calories, salt and sugar. Now I check all the food I am putting into my body, I am surprised by how tasty healthy food can actually be.”
Eileen found the programme suited her because it was flexible while still giving her the guidance and support she needed to succeed.
Eileen is under no illusions about how difficult it is to stick to an eating plan but her words of wisdom should be memorised by anyone who has ever fell off the healthy eating wagon.
“Don’t give up, and if you do slip back, so what, you can get back on track!”
Having forged strong friendships with other members Eileen is convinced that these bonds like her slim figure will be long-lasting.
“The friendships you build with others are great because you can moan and complain about no weight loss or weight gain and laugh with each other!”
