When Hannah was tagged in some pictures on Facebook after Christmas, she knew her eating habits had to change, and quickly...
“It was December last year that I realised my eating habits had to change. It was Christmas-time and so I was stuffing my face at every given opportunity, after all, everyone does during the holidays, right? However this time was different for me; it turned into a wake-up call."
"I was 11st 4lbs and miserable"
As friends and family started uploading pictures from the Christmas parties to Facebook I was far from feeling jolly - I looked hideous! It suddenly dawned on me how much weight I had gained and now my whole network of friends could see too. I was 11st 4lbs and miserable. I knew things needed to change, and so I joined Closer Diets after my twin sister (who was 3st lighter than me!) recommended it.
Growing up, I had never really had a problem with my weight, I was always a healthy size 10 but then I got married. Cooking for my husband, Ricky, a retail supervisor every day meant I was eating more than I would normally – I was matching portion sizes to my 6ft husband, so it was no wonder I was piling on the weight! However, when I joined Closer Diets, portion control was one of the main things we looked at – I’ve learnt so much about what’s okay for me and what’s okay for Ricky – and they’re very different!
"Now I love showing off my new bod on Facebook"
For years I just assumed that I was stuck as I was, that I would always be a big girl but Closer Diets has proved me wrong. Within 6 months of being on the diet plan I slimmed back down to a size 10 after losing 2st 7lbs and I feel healthier than ever! I couldn’t believe how quick the weight was coming off – I was losing a constant 2lbs per week.
I feel so much more confident now – I don’t dread people tagging me in pictures anymore, in fact I love showing off my new bod to my friends on Facebook. I finally feel like I’m back to my old self! Thanks again, Closer Diets!”
