Feeling frumpy, unattractive and fed up, Anne Ero, 44, had allowed her weight to drag her down for far too long. She shares her LighterLife story…
I haven’t always had problems with my weight; I use to be quite fit. However, in 2005 I was out jogging and slipped, and I fractured my tibia and fibula. Being a nurse, I’m usually on my feet for hours at a time, so I had to take a lot of time off work to recover. I was in a wheelchair for a year and in a lot of pain.
It was a depressing time, and I felt helpless. While I was recovering, my weight just crept up. I went from a size 12 to 20*.
Once I was fully recovered, I decided to join the gym to try and shift the weight I’d put on. I also tried various diets, and my doctor even assigned me to a dietitian, but nothing seemed to work. I’d lose a bit of weight then I’d put it back on again. I lost all my confidence and went from bubbly and outgoing, to timid and nervous. I felt unattractive, and I’d hide away in leggings and long tops – I’d even wear my husband’s shirts!
I hadn’t heard of LighterLife until an advert came on the television. I called the number and was connected to my local Counsellor, Linda Blyth, who was very friendly. That week, I attended my first LighterLife group meeting, and I’ve never looked back.
A convenient plan
I found the LighterLife Foodpacks great. I work a lot of long hours and shifts, so it was great to be able to grab a LighterLife bar and not have to worry about preparing food, which aided me with losing 3st 11lb. My group work helped me realise that I wasn’t taking enough time for myself. I’d rush through life, and hardly ever eat a healthy meal. Thanks to LighterLife Management, I now plan my meals to avoid grabbing something convenient when working shifts.
Since reaching my goal weight, I’ve never felt so sexy. I feel like I’ve got the old me back, and my confidence is through the roof. I love wearing bright clothes, and I feel like a woman again. I’m bursting with energy, and I couldn’t be happier with my life, and it’s all thanks to LighterLife.
