Christmas was the key to bubbly personality Sarah Stuart sorting out her life by losing weight with LighterLife. The 26-year-old had thoroughly enjoyed the previous year’s festivities then found she was out of work and wondering what to do with herself.
“My contract had come to an end, so I used the opportunity to dedicate my time to myself and my health – and change my life.”
Finding LighterLife
Having watched her mum Gill lose weight with LighterLife, Sarah decided to follow in her footsteps. She joined the LighterLife programme, eating four specially formulated Foodpacks a day, together with weekly counselling to address the psychological issues behind her over-eating and to help achieve a lasting lifestyle change.
“When my Mum did LighterLife I remember thinking ‘this is what I need to do’. It was the right time for me in January when I could focus on changing my weight for good. I decided 2012 was going to be my year.”
“I’ve always been a big girl, throughout my teens I just kept putting on weight. I never ate particularly badly; I just ate too much good food and didn’t have enough of a healthy balance.”
Weight loss inspiration
Sarah was well into the LighterLife programme when she started her new job, and has even inspired friends to take up the programme because of her success:
“When I started my new job I was determined nothing was going to interrupt my weight loss journey. The counselling helped me keep focused along with the amazing support I had at home.”
“I made sure I still met up with friends and had a social life without indulging unnecessarily, I had to stay disciplined, it was easier to have nothing at all than a little bit of something. I also found other things to do with my time like swimming and shopping.”
LighterLife slimming success
“If someone had said to me last Christmas ‘you will be slim this time next year’, I wouldn’t have believed them. I never imagined I could change or lose this much. I was happy as a big person, but I knew it wasn’t healthy.
“I guess I just want to express to other people who struggle with being overweight, you aren’t ‘meant to be that way’, something I used to tell myself regularly, and you don’t have to be if you don’t want to be.
“LighterLife gave me a lifeline and, as clichéd as it sounds, changed my life, my ambitions, my ability to do things and, most importantly, my health. Every day when I look in the mirror, I still can’t believe it!”
