TESTIMONIALS
From a couple of people who followed a twelve-week group to help with comfort eating:Tina writes:
"I promised I would let you know when I got under 14 stone…well that happened at the end of July. I didn’t say straight away because I had hols……and then we had a succession of guests….and I do like cooking and eating rich food when visitors stay….I play at the domestic goddess for a little while….it doesn’t last! Nigella comes out and we go all butter and cream….also as a result of the upheavals I missed the gym for 2 weeks. The wonderful thing is that because the new pattern is actually now me it has been fine to return to the pattern of eating well and exercising….in fact it has been a relief and joy to get back to it…and I returned to the gym having missed it terribly. So even after quite a few days over the last 5 weeks where I haven’t taken care of myself I remain 13:12 and down 2 sizes from a 24 to a 20. I am also still a very happy and positive lady who can hardly recognise the person I was when we first met.
When I was on hols in July I caught the tail end of some report on various slimming clubs weight watchers or slimmers or whatever of the year…and virtually all of them had regained all their weight and more besides….the shame and grief and hopelessness was written all over their faces and in their tone of voice. My weight loss is slow but I really believe it is forever…this time last year I had hit 15.3…I was 14.11 by the time I joined the group… I am not dieting but I am changing…thanks as always…"

"No more comfort-eating etc. LIFE IS GOOD! Work is still very challenging and stressful but each day now, as soon as I get home from work, I throw my bag into the kitchen and go for a 45 minute energetic walk. I must say this has helped me keep on top of things. When I “snack”, I have a stock of dried apricots, prunes, figs and nuts to keep me satisfied. As for my weight, well, I am losing on average about 1 – 1.5 lb per week. At the last count I had lost 18lbs since February, so am quite pleased with that. The interesting thing is that I have lost the cravings which I used to get and feel more ‘balanced’ about life. I learned SO MUCH from those sessions and just want to give you a BIG thank you.”

"Thank you for all your help and support you have given me over the weeks. You are very professional and outstanding in your job. I will be forever in your debt. I thank God that someone understands being depressed"'
